That would be useful, if you have time.

You're welcome :)

While the proposals look nice, they made me realize I neglected to mention
a few important restrictions on designs: all the UI elements need to feel
native, and the title bar and window borders have to be native as well. The
background behind the page should be a single color (without any images).
Sorry if that makes it harder to design, but the design needs to be easy to
implement for developers.

Unfortunately, we couldn't implement such a menu, for several reasons, the
most notable being that, being cross-platform, LibreOffice strives to feel
unified across platforms and can't afford to make radical changes for a
single platform.
