Re: Libreoffice toolbar using GS extensions



Relevant links, that should have been added before:

 - https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64184

Are you looking for somebody that would implement this, or are you planning
to code it and need some help to get startet?

Please do not say acronyms like "M$" on this list. It's unacceptable.

I'm unsure of the utility of using shell extensions as an application UI technology. What here requires a shell extension, and why is it better than simply letting the application handle things?

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
