Tickets/Topic

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127286 + add description to default layers + add this to the description (and let users delete/override) + show the description as tooltip on the tab + text from help or short as suggested by Pedro => do it, with short tooltips
 * Default Layers

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127283 + Add option to layers, to prevent selecting objects on inactive Layers, also if the layers are not locked (Cor) + different approach handy: you can switch to and work on layers in complex files, with many layers, without having to lock, or unluck the layers on each time you switch layer. + selectable on/off on the object level makes no sense; way too many and inconvenient to switch on/off (Heiko) + 'lock all other' layers might be a valuable addition + some cornerstones with, for example, groups spawn over several layers (Regina) + or WFM as layers can be toggled locked (and are thereby non-selectable) + vote for WFM (Heiko) => comment and ask OP for use case
 * Select in(active) Layer

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132137 + Calc: Default (Cell Style) and Default (Page Style) + Draw/Impress: Default (Drawing Style) + nothing speaks against this ideas => please do it
 * Styles: Default Style is to generic

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132104 + many are available under Format > Page > Header/Footer > Edit (Cor) => WFM
 * Calc lacks several fields available in Writer

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55083 + ui, locale, and document language can be set independently => WFM => WFM
 * "Replacements and exceptions for language:" (AutoCorrect d.box) should follow "Default languages for documents: Western" (Options)

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130778 + image at start center too large? (Stuart, c23) + the image is now scaled initially to 50% of the view size + looks good (Cor) + splash screen difference normal/dev build + use only dark or only white variant + both are fine (Cor) + remove splash screen completely + disagree (Heiko, Cor) + use grey scale image on start center + monochrome is not the UI default, so -1 (Heiko) + wouldnt prefer grey scale (Cor)
 * Branding for 7.0
