--- Comment #9 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- You all are missing the point. The Sidebar is an adjunct GUI to Toolbars. With introduction of a SDK for flexible manipulation of Sidebar's layout and function (customizations and extensions)--the Sidebar will become a more relevant GUI option. As Jay observes, by HIG it does need to be fully exposed in Menu. But neutering customization of the GUI now just because it lacks function currently is not rational. When Andre Fischer took on tasks of integrating the Symphony "Property panel" expanding the OOo "Task pane" it was clear that rather than a static GUI, the new "Sidebar" was intended to be a dynamic framework. https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/the_sidebar_new_and_improved LibreOffice has moved it forward considerably with .UI GTK stacking based organization of the GUI--but the flexible nature of the Sidebar to the GUI remains. Laurent Godard's work on bug 91806 -- Create a Sidebar UNO API, gets us further along in support for dynamic reconfiguration and addition by extension to the Sidebar. Before proposing these endless "tweaks" to the UI, consider the full potential of a fully implemented Sidebar--in that case Customization will very much be needed. Please, leave it be for now and allow the development to catch up. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
