You get the same list as with View > User Interface but in a dialog. The
experimental UIs are shown only when this option is enabled.

> Will the selection be on a per application basis? 

You can Apply <to current module> or Apply to All <all modules> (limited to
Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw since we do not have Notebookbars for all other).


I suggest to try the dialog. There is another patch that replaces the View > UI
submenu by the new dialog (easy to revert), limited to the classic main menu
(Notebookbars still have the submenu; all is customizable).

The patch adds also a new "Tip Of The Day" so new users will be presented with
this tip the first time they start LibreOffice. To try this you don't need to
press Next 100 times. Go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Expert Options, search
for LastTipOfTheDayID, double-click and set it to 222 (the last item, counted
up to 0 when the dialog is reshown).

Images both in this dialog and the thumbnail are a matter of improvement. It
can be done temporarily on the nightly build. The TipOfTheDay is at
share/tipoftheday/toolbarmode.png, the previews at share/toolbarmode/*.
