Re: Libreoffice toolbar using GS extensions

[Onyeibo Oku <twohotis gmail com>]

I get the feeling this should be going to LibreOffice list instead and
not Gnome

That said, I believe it would be far better to give LibO a UI that is
intrinsic rather than referencing M$ anomalies.  The ribbon interface is
a failure IMHO.  If its a great idea, then M$ has published a cheap
implementation instead.  I will wholeheartedly vote in favour of status
quo than to see an M$-UI clone in LibO.

So, if you are hungry for change, design something new and more
functional and you'll have my support.  As per Icon theme, I am
currently using LibO-4.0.3 with Faenza, so no special coding is
required.

Finally, please send this to LibreOffice mailing list

Onyeibo
