--- Comment #15 from andreas_k <kainz.a at gmail.com> ---
When I start with tabbed notebookbar I added the labels and than I removed them
cause of the following reasons:

- Tabbed NB is NO 1:1 copy of MSO Ribbons
- LibreOffice has not so many settings than MSO
- Tabbed NB need way less vertical space than MSO Ribbons
- Compare to Ribbons, Tabbed NB can't shrink in height so vertical space is
even more importend.

Goals of Tabbed NB:

- Home Tab most wanted commands and well known commands without label
- All other tabbs icon + label which mean compare to Standard Toolbar where you
have only icon (label as tooltip) way better accessibility (at least for
commands which wasn't used frequently)
- Regular layout for groups in tabbed NB
  - first item large icon + label on bottom
  - other items in two rows smale icon + label
  - NO group description string
- icon size follow system setting option

No group description string

- Group layout is always similar (easy to understand)
- Groups are 1 + 2 (+ 2) commands large (not larger)
- As commands has labels addition string will only add more strings
- I can't theme NB background in gerrit so description strings can only get
opacity
- A lot of work for translators (NB is not the default layout)


I hope I could describe why I decided not add group strings. And I think it was
the correct decision.
