I get the feeling this should be going to LibreOffice list instead and not Gnome
That said, I believe it would be far better to give LibO a UI that is intrinsic rather than referencing M$ anomalies. The ribbon interface is a failure IMHO. If its a great idea, then M$ has published a cheap implementation instead. I will wholeheartedly vote in favour of status quo than to see an M$-UI clone in LibO. So, if you are hungry for change, design something new and more functional and you'll have my support. As per Icon theme, I am currently using LibO-4.0.3 with Faenza, so no special coding is required. Finally, please send this to LibreOffice mailing list Regards Onyeibo On Sun, 2013-05-19 at 19:28 +0530, Megh Parikh wrote: > Can a gnome3 extension be developed with a ms office ribbon like/ a > very customizable HTML interface which uses dbus for communication > with libreoffice applications ?? > > It can have a dropdown thing like drop down terminal extension of > gnome3, a drop down should open whenever libreoffice is opened. > > It can also have tabs using sourcecode from the taskbar gnome3 > extension > > Steps to reproduce: > 1.
