Hi again,

I'll be brief, 

'Each Tab is labeled, an analog to our main Menu which can be suppressed, and
that labeling is sufficient to the MUFFIN NB 'Tabbed' interface. Nothing more
is needed, and this is a clean NB implementation suitable to task.'

Yes, (indeed I understand what the tabs have a name, if they didn't I would be
considerably concerned about giving the software to any users) under the 'Home'
tab I believe there are 46 icons separated into 6 broad sections, of these
icons only 5 have names/text next to them, Paste, Clone, Clear, Table and Zoom.
The others do not.

>From my point of view unless you know what the icons represent it is a case of
mouse over until you find the task you want to accomplish, that is if you know
the name of the functionality. Clearly in some cases it is self evident, but
certainly not for all, and having the contextual description below aids as it
is evident similar icons are related. 

We will have to agree to disagree that it is 'clean NB implementation' and
'Nothing more is needed' if you consider providing additional contextual
descriptions would make the interface less productive for LibreOffice users.


Oh and thank you for the technical description, I did not understand all of the
intricacies but it sounded well reasoned and I broadly followed. I just want to
be clear that I appreciate for the thought and work that goes in to this
product by all the many volunteers.

kind regards,

John
