            Bug ID: 100705
           Summary: ui: Show in status bar the OpenCL status.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Looks like there is a decision about by default disable OpenCL for Calc.
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Disabling-of-OpenCL-by-default-in-Calc-tc4186719.html
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libreoffice-qa-minutes-of-ESC-call-tc4187634.html

After a lot of effort from a lot of people: having issues, reporting, doing
triage, and developers solving them, now disable by default, seems a bit
strange, but let's go.

On one hand, OpenCL it's really an important option with some less powerful
computers like celerons, there is a great different working with spreadsheets
that are a bit heavy.
On the other, IMO most of the users don't worry about review the options and
test them, if we don't facilitate to take advantage of OpenCL, a lot of great
work for nothing.

So a clear flag on the status bar, like 'OpenCL' in red if disable and green if
enable, can brings more attention about it. With a clicking on it to change
their status and ask for restart LibreOffice.
