Menus are not toggle buttons so there wont get a lowered appearance, I guess. But some kind of indicator is definitely needed. And that could be done with a dashed rectangle or a highlighted background, like in other menus buttons. Workaround today: get the information from the custom value field.

I've been thinking and it would be better to have the button replaced with checkboxes. > Workaround today: get the information from the custom value field. Now that Jim is adding the 2.5 and 3.0 line spacing to the canvas, we can get rid of this and have a more options button, for those who want advanced access. I would prefer menu items instead, as that's a standard approach in the UI for presenting a list of options, and they can easily have check marks and/or icons. And that will add more consistency, as we already have other menu based toolbar popups. (For comparison, Word also uses a menu for this). But using a standard menu will make it impossible to continue offering the custom value field. One option is to get rid of it, in favor of a "More" item (like suggested in comment 2). Another option is to not use a standard menu, but some other menu-like widget, which can also host a custom controls inside. One such control is the one we use for several popups like bullets, new slide, or the various popups of the 3D-Settings and Fontwork toolbars. Another possibility is the control used for the auto filter dropdown in Calc. |
