Hi :)
Any menus or ribbons or whatnot (thanks Amiko) at the top or bottom on a wide-screen display drives 
me nuts.  I really should just turn my wide-screen on it's side so i can see documents properly 
instead of through a letter-box.  How come mobile devices have a portrait mode by default!!  Grrrr

Lol
Regards from
Tom :)

I read recently that IBM had finally donated all of the Lotus Symphony
UI code to AOO...

Are there any plans to at least take a look at this code and possibly
cherry pick it to give a facelift for LO? I don't want (hate!) the
ribbon in MSO, but would love to see the UI with a decent
facelift/refresh...


  And what did you have in mind?


Tabbed interface (should be optional/easy to drag/move a doc out into its
own window), formatting tools/toolbars on the side (Symphony are on the
right, but should be movable), TaskPane (similar to the ribbon, but doesn't
replace the menus), and there are others...

Lots to pick from, so it should at least be on the table...


It's a ridiculous amount of work to integrate the code even if it's open.
Furthermore, the debate is ongoing and heated about if those kinds of
changes are even desired.

Best,
Joel
