Bug ID: 153694
Summary: Option to change localized Bold/Italic/Underline icons
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
Hi! I looked through the backlog, but haven't found anything similar to my
idea.
I am a volunteer at a senior center, and I have started an initiative to
migrate seniors’ old laptops from Windows 7/8 to Linux Mint 21.1, combined with
10 lessons how to use their new operating system and software. It goes really
well, but there are always those tiny things.
One of those is a default set of localized Bold/Italic/Underline icons (Colibre
theme) – in Polish version instead of B/I/U (Bold/Italic/Underline), we get
G/K/P (poGrubienie/Kursywa/Podkreślenie). The same applies to other languages,
with a different (local) combination of letters.
The problem is that people who used MS Office, or other office suits, are
really familiar with B/I/U, and they cannot recognize other icons, although
more experience users use keyboard shortcuts and don’t even notice a difference
in UI.
Is this something you would consider changing, or allowing for customization in
options?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Writer (this applies to other applications that allow user
to format text)
2. Have a look at the Formatting toolbar (Standard toolbar interface) or
formatting section of the Home tab (Tabbed interface)
3. Check your B/I/U icons
Actual Results:
Localization changes B/I/U icons to their local versions, in case of Polish
it's G/K/P
Expected Results:
1) Have B/I/U icons standardized accross all languages
OR
2) Give users a choice to customize B/I/U icons
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
It's been like this as long as I can remember. It could be worth incorporating
into a welcome screen, to let users to choose their interface, theme (starting
7.5.1), etc.
