The reason for GS extension was its easily design-able and modify-able capabilitiesTo make myself more clear : I want a customizable toolbar featuring boxes containing specified buttons. These boxes can be multiline. they should have good separation in between them.
They should be easily customizable(The icons in particular boxes can be moved or removed, boxes can be rescaled,etc). I dont exactly want MS office Ribbon like interface. I want menus . I just want to modify toolbar.
I dont think we can create multiline toolbars in GTK (which I dont know)I have progressed somewhat (I can make toolbars with icons appear on the screen- using Looking glass and drop down terminal and Frippery Bottom panel source code) but I need some good DBus reference so that i can learn how to interact with libreoffice

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
