Sounds good. I had thought so, but did not want to transform LibreOffice in MS
Office. Although it works similar to the current dropdown menu in the
formatting toolbar (without preview). Would it be possible to unify both
interfaces?

Besides the lack of an indicator it is still necessary. For example if you want
to go for some styles before choosing a new (applied style vs selected style). 

An example of this is the revamped user interface of Zoho Docs.

Note: Additionally you could add the options "apply" and "update" to the
context menu when you select a style with the right mouse button.
