I tried the Notebookbar after looking at the Fedora article. It worked just as advertised and I managed to return to default using the '3 small horizontal lines' icon on the rhs of the ribbon. I was using LO 6.0.0.2 (I think)
I wasn't impressed by the Notebookbar - it seems to be variations on a theme started by MS some years ago and immediately followed by some other software houses just like it was the fashion of the day. The introduction of the ribbon by Avid Sibelius raised howls of protest from the veteran users of Sibelius - but that's just because we're mostly very conservative and don't like change. Yesterday, I upgraded LO to 6.0.5.2 and took the opportunity to recheck Notebookbar. Out of the 6 variants, the first 2 'Contextual Groups' and 'Contextual Simple' don't show the little icon. The next 2 variants, 'Tabbed' and 'Tabbed Compact' do show the icon. The last two, 'Grouped bar full' and 'Group bar compact' don't show the icon BUT they do have an item at the far right called 'Menu' which has a drop down which allows you to toggle on the Menu Bar - and to select the different variants of Notebookbar. The number of combinations seem to be numerous. I may have missed a combination but it seemed to me that although I could turn off the regular MenuBar in the Grouped Bar full and compact variants, it still appeared in the 2 tabbed variants. This ribbon seems good to pass away a few spare minutes. For a new user, it may provide something of interest but I think I'll stay with the old menu bar.
