Re: [libreoffice-design] Concept - Vertical Toolbar Only

That's a really cool idea. Reminds me a little bit on the Unity
Launcher, or the like. I would put the 'Functions Bar' (aka
Notebookbar) to the left side and the 'Properties Bar' (what we call
today the Sidebar) to the right, meaning the NB needs to become
dockable (likely that we have a ticket for this).
Other than that the content needs a lot of familiarization as you
don't label icons and there are no clear sections. The latter could be
done with big icons that also group the content. In your design the
focus is on Save, Paste, and colors as those small icons pop-out. The
big style button is lost down under. That's a pity since our
educational mission is to promote styles.

Cheers,
Heiko

PS: Why not have a ticket in Bugzilla to allow vertical Notebookbars
with this exemplary configuration?
