Are you looking for somebody that would implement this, or are you planning
to code it and need some help to get startet?

Please do not say acronyms like "M$" on this list. It's unacceptable.

I'm unsure of the utility of using shell extensions as an application UI technology. What here requires a shell extension, and why is it better than simply letting the application handle things?

    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
