LibreOffice UI Prosposal

Hi there!

Last time [1] I wrote something about a touch UI. Now I got an idea of how the standard LibreOffice might look like:

The pic on the left shows the following:

• On the first pic you can see the most important change…
• The “Flexy” UI has exactly 4 options:
  • Where should the menu be displayed? (2 options)
    • Top/ Bottom ; Left / Right
  • Should the favorites be displayed Yes / No
  • Ribbon like menus or classic menus (On the draft ribbon like; no favorites when choosing standard
• When clicking on a menu, there should be a lot of buttons with pics used AND the arrangement should be easily changeable
• The help menu should have a “Copy build information” button –> Compare with GeoGebra…
• Like in b) There should be a button in the right bottom corner to pin  the whole thing –> Then it would be exactly like MS Ribbon + Favorites

The pic on the right is quite the same…

• On the top the menu is shown vertically on the left side.
• b) shows the menu
• And in the bottom you can see an example configuration..
  • Have a closer look to the “Format” dialog. The favorite is the font selector –> Not only buttons should be possible, everything should….
    • Keep in mind: “Format” is a rather short word, so the width can be quite high, but you can easily change it with 4 settings

So, to sum up, what do you think about it?
Is a UI in development yet?
