Contextual single

For menubar lovers the simplest and responsible LibreOffice layout on earth

Check out LibreOffice 6.3 release candidate and enjoy the new stuff come with it.

Simplified Tabbs for LibreOffice 6.3

LibreOffice 6.3 will offer a new tabbed layout called tabbed compact. Focus are users with widescreen and a simple user interface.

Install LibreOffice 6.3 RC1 and give me feedback. You can change the UI via menubar -> View -> Layout.

Contextual Single

On vecation I ordinary have the best ideas. So this time I made an single line contextual toolbar for writer.

It’s how the single line toolbar should look like. One toolbar which is fully contextual. As one toolbar didn’t have that much space, you have the menubar for all available commands in LibreOffice.

It’s the most compact LibreOffice UI done on my smal Laptop screen (1366 x 768 px). But Contextual single work not only on small screens it’s flexible and suites all screen sizes.

Context Standard, Table, Image, Shape

If you’d like to test contextual single download the daily master build, enable experimental features (Menubar -> Tools -> Configure -> Advanced -> Enable experimental features) and change in Writer Menubar -> View -> User Interface -> Contextual Single.
