--- Comment #33 from Michael Meeks <michael.meeks@collabora.com> ---
Hi Emir,

One of the finest examples of how to fix(!) one thing which ain't broke.

Well - opinions differ on how important the UX is and changing / improving it -
which necessarily involves harming some use-case or other: which will
eventually be fixed (and more so if people grapple with the code and/or submit
patches).

Aside from the fact that white toolbar background is already a no-no from the 
Oo era, the situation could be easily improved with small distinguishing 

Great - it is that very easy of easily improving it that makes this such a
great candidate for a new programmer (such as yourself ?) - if you're
interested in hacking on this [ and no simply reverting a change is not usually
a positive contribution ], then I'd be happy to provide some code pointers &
mentoring - get a build & see how it goes.

For example there is this Bug 73051, even number 10 is not fitting inside
the box, let alone most font names, what is the logic behind breaking this?

Most likely it's just a bug - there is no logic to bugs; many of them are
created by poorly coupled code whereby you change one thing and it has an
unexpected impact elsewhere: the 'obvious' solution - "change nothing" doesn't
lead to a terribly dynamic project :-) As with all bugs it needs to be filed,
prioritised and ideally have fixes contributed. This one we can look at post
FOSDEM in the UX hackfest perhaps.

Another thing, styles dropdown even do not house any translations other than
English, because someone made the styles dropdown thinner, or did not take
the time to make it resizable

Kendy may be interested in that for the UX hackfest too.

which would be the logical course of action if thought with good UX in mind. 

AFAIK the style dropdown including previous of styles is a real UX improvement
for people - done with UX in mind.

Really, I beg, please, if it ain't broke do not fix it. 

Sure - however opinions differ on whether LibreOffice is already the pinacle of
design and usability :-) if you want things to improve, some transient
regressions come with that.

Thanks for reporting them ! that's good; however, please don't feel you're
entitled to having your issues fixed on your timeline -unless- you provide code
changes to go with them: if you do provide code changes, then I for one feel
bad if they are not merged promptly :-)

All the best.
