Hi Kendy,

I just got to some "make LibreOffice nicer" hacking today, and thought
you might be interested in it ;-)

That sounds as a relaxing day ;-)

This time it was related to the toolbars:

I removed the menus for handling toolbars.  First, the visual look was
extremely suboptimal (too visible for functionality that is not used
daily), second, the functionality just duplicates the right-click on the
toolbar handle, so one can achieve the very same thing with the exactly
same effort just by clicking somewhere else.

Only one thing I see: when the toolbar is docked, there is hardly any visible free space, so I get mouse-over events everywhere, which IMO makes it unnatural to right click - which cán be done anywhere I see. The small triangle might make people curious ...

Please note that when you make the window so small that some of the
toolbar items get hidden, the menu control appears again, so that it is
visible that there is "something more somewhere".

Ah, that is ok.

Please let me know if you like it - I hope that yes :-) - and I'll blog
about it.

Well, though I hardly ever use them, I'm a bit undecided.
But there are real experts over here, that will have an opinion too ;-)

Cheers,
Cor
