Bug ID: 168867
Summary: VT: Use only icon for vertical tabs (by default) with
mouse-over tooltip with label
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI

Description:
VT: Use only icon for vertical tabs (by default) with mouse-over tooltip with
label
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any dialog or take a look at screenshot attachment 203247 (screenshot)
Actual Results:
Currently implementation: icon + label
Expected Results:
Well it's more a 'suggestion' instead of 'expected'. Icon only system, like the
toolbar with mouse-over tooltip for the vertical tabs is probably a lot cleaner
If this should be the only way or only the default can be discussed. Although
configurability overcomplicating stuff a lot. Source of bugs. The non-default
setting will barely be tested.
Advantages
* Fixed icon size, no dynamic width adaption (bug 168796) to fit content. So
more consistent look
* No struggle with position of the label (like right from icon) or below the
icon. FWIW: Not even sure if position of the label right from icon being
neutral for RTL readers compared to LTR. See bug 168203
* No variation of icon sizes bug 168137
* More items can fit on a dialog (especially if label being shown below the
icon) bug 165989
Prerequisite communicative/expressive icons. No clue about accessibility (color
blindness and such)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
