How the original toolar is and the mockups with and without text

I have worked on a revamped print preview toolbar for writer and have attached
mockup previews of what it can look like. As there is alot of space available
in the toolbar, i would recommend going for the text based mockup. If some
space is needs to be removed, then the word 'Double' can be changed to 'Twin'
and the word 'Previous' can be shrunk to 'Prev'.

I have used my usage of Adobe Reader and Okular as inspiration for this mockup,
using functionality that is already present in LibreOffice, so that additional
work is kept to a minimum.

As i know some may be wondering why the print button was removed from the
mockup toolbar, and the reason for that is that there is a print button still
available in the standard toolbar and print is also available in the File menu
and also with Ctrl+P. The print button will still be retained in the toolbar as
the first button, but will be hidden by default.

In order for this mockup to become a reality, i have already started submitting
enhancement bugs including:

1) Bug 80651 - addition of a single page button
2) Bug 80654 - addition of a close button icon
3) Bug 80657 - addition of navigator page number field
4) Bug 80758 - having unnamed icons in a toolbar set to icons & text

Going beyond what is necessary to achieve the mockup, i'd like to suggest that
the toolbar be centered whenver its activated, and that the text 'Next' and
'End' be positioned to the left of their icons.
