The reason for GS extension was its easily design-able and modify-able capabilities
To make myself more clear : I want a customizable toolbar featuring *boxes containing specified buttons.* These boxes can be *multiline*. they should have good separation in between them. They should be easily *customizable*(The icons in particular boxes can be moved or removed, boxes can be rescaled,etc). I dont exactly want MS office Ribbon like interface. I want menus . I just want to modify toolbar. I dont think we can create multiline toolbars in GTK (which I dont know) I have progressed somewhat (I can make toolbars with icons appear on the screen- using Looking glass and drop down terminal and Frippery Bottom panel source code) but I need some good DBus reference so that i can learn how to interact with libreoffice On Sun, May 19, 2013 at 9:50 PM, Clemens <clem...@lab21.org> wrote: > Relevant links, that should have been added before: > > - http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/16741/gnome3-extension-ribbon/ > > - https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64184 > > Are you looking for somebody that would implement this, or are you planning > to code it and need some help to get startet? > > > > Am 19.05.2013 18:04, schrieb Jasper St. Pierre: > > Please do not say acronyms like "M$" on this list.
