--- Comment #30 from Emir Sarı <bitigchi at openmailbox.org> ---
One of the finest examples of how to fix(!) one thing which ain't broke.

Aside from the fact that white toolbar background is already a no-no from the
OOo era, the situation could be easily improved with small distinguishing
elements like borders and stuff. Anyway, I am tired of this stuff already, it
is just a regression which could easily be fixed by a simple revert of patch,
but if contributing people do not care about the regressions caused by their
patches, or do not even take the 2 minutes to test them (which is the common
case in most LO regressions as far as I can see) why would other people care?

For example there is this Bug 73051, even number 10 is not fitting inside the
box, let alone most font names, what is the logic behind breaking this? Another
thing, styles dropdown even do not house any translations other than English,
because someone made the styles dropdown thinner, or did not take the time to
make it resizable, which would be the logical course of action if thought with
good UX in mind. So as far as I can tell, LibreOffice became a playground on
which some people play, but do not either think about the consequences of their
patches, do not test them, or mostly forget that this software is used by
millions of people. 

I really do not understand, there is no review mechanism especially for these
type of patches. People just submit stuff, result is more and more UI
regressions with each release, people saying "This thing looks shitty", and
cringing QA people. Very nice. 

Really, I beg, please, if it ain't broke do not fix it. 

Please. 

Just my 2 cents.
