Hi Jay, hi all,<br>
<br>
thanks a lot for your work with the toolbar proposal.<br>
<br>
I had a look at the screenshots and the coments on this list. I
would like to add a few comments, too. I also wanted to send it to
the UX mailing list, but I could not find Jay's related email there.<br>
<br>
First, I like the grouping of icons. I think it is a good idea that
everything is accessible and the interface clean. However, I
understand the criticism that some people may not find their buttons
anymore. Hence, it would be perfect, if there is a super-simple
method to permanently add buttons out of a group to the toolbar. The
best method would be if the icon from the group can be simply put
there by drag&drop. Then the user has his/her preferred icon
again on the toolbar. Such an easy mechanism will save lots of
headaches on all sides.<br>
<br>
There are two icons, I would definitively not remove from the
default set.<br>
Please don't remove:<br>
<ul>
<li>"New file" icon which currently is on the top left side of the
toolbar. I have seen lots of people using it and it shows the
excellent integration of all office components (which is a big
plus compared to MS Office!). People will be very confused if
they do not easily find their way of starting a new document.
Think of the confusion about the "backstage-flower" in MS Office
2007. People had been revolting that they did not find new,
open, save and print.<br>
</li>
<li>"Styles and formatting" currently on the second row left side
of the toolbar. If statistically people are not using this
button enough, it is a matter to promote this button more, as
the reliance on styles is LibreOffice's big strength. (taken
from the OSBA-funding site, additionally chart styles and object
styles are in development. Table styles in Writer and Calc are
still missing, though).</li>
</ul>
<p>A general question: How does the toolbar proposal integrate with
the new sidebar?<br>
</p>
<ul>
</ul>
<p>Best greetings,<br>
Gerry<br>
