In the previous post, I showed you how the UI of Presenter Screen/Presenter Console has been updated after more than a decade.
If we trace back, this Impress feature was came from extension. It was so popular than the developers integrated it to the core. Michael Meeks, one of veteran of OpenOffice/LibreOffice said in the LibreOffice Design Telegram group that the code needed to be cleaned up. But the good news that in current master Presenter Screen/Presenter Console has receive some updates also.
So what's update is that? Thanks for Srijan Bahtia. With his voluntary work, Presenter Screen/Presenter Console now has two new features. I help him to provide necessary icons.
Now you can pause and resume the timer. In case your presentation is interrupted or your session got coffee break, this is so handy. At first patch, Srijan asked in bug report an icon, but I propose to provide two icons based on timer status: pause and resume in one place.
New Exit Button
Actually we can end the Presenter Screen/Presenter Console with Esc key but sometimes clickable icon will help also for people that have no access to keyboard or for the beginner user which still has no knowledge about common keystroke.
This is how the Presenter Screen/Presenter Console looks now. Look at "Pause" button next to the timer.
You can try them in daily master build https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ and will be available Insha Allah in 7.1 version.
