Re: [libreoffice-design] UI: Android, GTK+/Qt, and Windows 8

Hi Mirek, *

I personally would love to see LibreOffice in native gtk+ :)
Does anyone know how complicated VCL is? I guess this would also mean a huge code cleanup, maybe 
making it more attractive to contribute to the project.
I'd be good if some devs could give a guesstimate how much of this can be achieved during one 
release cycle, maybe focusing mostly on this issue.

Hi everyone, 
Given that we plan to rewrite the UI for the Android platform, I'm 
wondering how much of this rewrite work can be shared with the desktop 
LibreOffice. More importantly, I'm wondering whether a rewrite is also 
planned for the web version, as converting VCL into GTK+ into HTML seems 
less-than-ideal. Would it be possible to do a gradual rewrite of 
LibreOffice into GTK+? 
Lastly, I ask whether LibreOffice plans to become a "tailored app" for 
Windows 8, in which case it would also need to undergo a UI rework. 
 
P.S. Just out of curiosity, has the no-LGPL restriction of the iOS AppStore 
been resolved? Or will LibreOffice ship with a different license for that 
platform, considering all developers agree?
