Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: New design

Hi :)
Ahah, at last i dug deep enough to reach this!  

Even on 4:3 aspect ratio the menus and general clutter seems aimed at reducing an A4 portrait mode 
(ie typical letter or other document) to a tiny thin sliver that makes it difficult to see how 
over-verbose i might have been or to see the context or flow (or lack of).  The empty grey areas at 
the sides of documents can be annoying too.  Grrrrr.  

Shunting some stuff to the sides would be great.  Looking at the ribbon bar it looks as though MSO 
is heading that way too.
Regards from
Tom :)

I think Citrus looks like a change in the right direction!

It keeps the menus on the top (thus not breaking with the past) but adding
all buttons to the sides making better use of wide screen monitors. This
design also solves the problem of where to put new toolbars: they should
always appear on the sides (like in Gimp). 

This is not comparable to the stupid Ribbon, where MS decided which buttons
the users use most and hid all others. In addition the Ribbon was so wide
that it took a large vertical space... If you never used this design failure
named Office 2010 in a netbook, then you should, just for fun lesson of what
not-to-do :)

In my opinion even the Default toolbar should move to the Right (and move
less used toolbars to the Left) where there is less travelling distance with
the cursor.

I hope this is added ASAP!
