Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: New design

I'm in favor of a skins option - or at least a way to easily customize.  I
could care less if people want to stick to a default skin if I can change
what I want/need.  If there's a way to easily customize and then
export/import the customizations, large companies would be able to
remove/add important features and easily (sort of) import that
skin/customization to other computers.
