</div>Wouldn't this add clutter to the status bar?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not necessarily.<br></div><div>The three buttons feel right at home next to the navigation section of the status bar (the one that says "Page 1/1"). All that's needed is to add the three buttons next to it. The added advantage here is that we could theme these buttons to fit with the rest of the status bar. iWork Pages does the same thing [1].<br>
<br>Also, the three buttons are cluttering up the scrollbar, where they stick out like a sore thumb. They don't fit in well with any operating system's scroll bars and are sometimes too small to be comfortably targeted with a mouse (and, as
mentioned, sometimes even too small for the icons to be visible at all).<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

</div>Argh! Stop comparing LibO to MSO. Please. LibO has to get its own<br>
personality and be itself. Promoting styles, for instance :)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I definitely agree we should forge our own path, and I certainly didn't mean to say "If Microsoft's doing it, let's do it too". However, I felt it was relevant to the discussion that no stink was raised about Microsoft removing the same thing.<br>
