I took a look at the screenshots and liked the Lotus icon set: very similar to OO default, with subtly improved clarity.

Hello,

@Matthias Seidel
Here are some screenshots of IBM Lotus Symphony

They had also reviewed some toolbars i.e. a single one to manage forms,
asw..
Thanks!

I really like some of the details...

Small changes can enhance productivity while not disturbing the users.

Hello,

The UI of IBM Lotus Symphony could perhaps be a source of inspiration.
Not
too far from the actual AOO UI, but with simplified menus and toolbars.
Can you point me to some screenshot that show what you are thinking of?

Hi,

I do see the need for a modern icon set to be used in the now so popular
"dark mode" and for the upcoming Windows 11. This has already been
discussed, but since we are all volunteers someone has to do the work in
the end.

Can you give examples of what you would like to change?

Maybe we can integrate some of them, but a major overhaul of the UI is
very unlikely to happen. We need volunteers (and more important:
capacity) to work on the project.

Talk is cheap, but we need to "walk the talk".

Regards,

    Matthias

I
think OpenOffice needs to improve its UI if it wants to compete with its
competitors. In China, it's outrun by WPS and in US it's outrun by
Microsoft. Even with a less-advanced technical core, a better UI design
can
lead to much higher popularity.

Subject: OpenOffice needs better UI

Dear OpenOffice devs,

OpenOffice needs better UI that gives users a sense of
light-weightedness and modernity. Currently the UI is too heavy.
What is meant by this? Is it about so-called "ribbons" or is the
question to be
understood more comprehensively?

I ask because: I personally don't like ribbons (which is no argument)
and I can't
see that ribbons improve the operating efficiency.
On the other hand, it would be interesting to hear suggestions if they
mediate
something other than "ribbons".


greetings,
Jörg


btw.:
What has become of this?
