Where would these phrase be used? --Pious Eterino (talk) 13:13, 22 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Relating to the design of graphical user interfaces. Equinox 00:00, 8 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

"Change Look And Feel"

I have no idea what PoS it should be. It might be construed as change + look and feel. DCDuring (talk) 00:41, 3 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

The entry is wrong: this stands for custom look and feel, and refers to the design of user interfaces. Equinox 01:27, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Do we have cites for that? DCDuring (talk) 03:36, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
I doubt it is CFI-attestable but you can easily confirm it in a Web search. Equinox 18:09, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
I managed to find and add one CFI-compliant quote (citations page). Kiwima (talk) 20:14, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
See also Wiktionary:Requests for deletion/English#CLAF (where I give three book uses, one of which is the same as now on the citations page) and my argument for deletion there.  --Lambiam 21:26, 4 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

With @Lambiam's cites, this is passed. It is up to RFV to decide whether they are insufficient because they all pertain to a single product. Kiwima (talk) 21:07, 4 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Doesn't seem to exist. --Pious Eterino (talk) 10:55, 14 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

A tentative delete, I'm not sure of its significance. It's been here since 2005. DonnanZ (talk) 12:19, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Some of Oracle’s applications have a feature variously called “Customize Look-and-Feel” or “Custom Look-and-Feel”. This short text (an excerpt from a printed book) manages to use both. I am fairly sure that this is what is meant. Other uses in print: [1], [2]. I’m not convinced that an acronym that is particular to just one company’s applications is worthy of inclusion, though.  --Lambiam 21:44, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
But this one says "change look and feel", not custom or customize. DonnanZ (talk) 19:29, 18 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
This appeared in the entry in the beginning, but was removed: "CLAF is an acronym created by Xanga.com to designate a page for changing appearance settings for a specific blog site. CLAF stands for Change Look And Feel." diff I think it can be put out of its misery and deleted. DonnanZ (talk) 19:34, 18 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
I say, Delete. If we think of these software suites as creating a fictional universe – which in a way they do – we have terms here that are only used in reference to that universe.  --Lambiam 22:40, 20 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

No consensus to delete after well over a year. bd2412 T 04:52, 27 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
