Summary: [Mac] Use OS native toolbar backgrounds / Review
toolbar structure
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
Hello,
Current white toolbar backgrounds and toolbar structure do not follow OS X
design guidelines. White colour does not look and feel native. And it is not
even consistent with the other LibreOffice UI element backgrounds like Sidebar
and rulers. On the other hand in most Mac applications toolbars are unified
with the window bar, although it would be hard to make this approach work with
LibreOffice since LO toolbars are all customisable and dockable to the other
sides of the main window.
Possible approaches:
1. Use only native OS background drawing for all UI elements, including
Sidebar. Keep the current customisable LO toolbar structure. On this approach
Window Bar would still be separate.
2. Unify the Standard toolbar with the Window Bar as in most Mac applications,
keep the other toolbars customisable, dockable to other sides of the window.
3. Keep customisable toolbar structure, but instead make toolbars unify with
the window bar when docked to the top. I don't know if this would be
technically possible or not.
My opinion goes for the third, since I like docking the standard toolbar to the
sides, and using vertical screen space.
This sounds very much like a vapourware, but at least some discussion and
brainstorming would be helpful for future references.
