(In reply to Pedro from comment #10)
The video showing the UI switching should be improved and included in the
Release Notes. Maybe with a small entry explaining each of the 4 options.

The marketing team will definitely include it in their what's new 5.3 videos.

A new entry in the Release Notes should be created talking about the
Notebookbar. Maybe with a video depicting it as well.

Already was done. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3#Toolbars

Furthermore, I think that that an entry in the View menu --> Toolbar layout
is not enough for people to take notice of this if they don't know that they
should look on the menus. And many people avoid looking in the menus. 

Yes most people dont look in the menus for most things, but outside of the
basics, they will have to open up the menus.

Therefore I propose having a button in the Start Center - my previous
comment.

Most users dont see the start center, unless you are forced to see it like on
mac, so it isnt a good thing to clutter up the start center with it.

I would further add that having a button dedicated to changing the layouts
always visible to the user is crucial.

It would be nice to put it somewhere but it wont be suitable in the toolbars,
as it would have to be in all toolbar implementations.

One example of an Office suite doing this is Kingsoft Office, which has a
button near the Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons just to change the UI
between Toolbar and Ribbon mode.

Would it be possible to add such an icon just as in Kingsoft Office?

Kingsoft draws it ribbon UI's entire window, which is how it is able to put the
icon that place, but if you change to 'Classic Style', they use the OS toolbar
and have the button in the toolbar. So i'm not sure its possible to add it to
the title bar and would doubt that it could be done cross platform. But you are
more than welcome to open a new bug report to suggest it and ask devs its
feasibility.
