Description Heiko Tietze 2017-04-25 14:49:55 UTC
One premise of the contextual sections is to label all functions. In particular the various color settings needs a clear identification beyond the icon. Right now the font color, background color (both in Writer and Calc), and background color (Writer only). In Calc it affects also Border related function (cf. bug 107419).

In the original proposal [1] the buttons got a new design with labels, but if that's not possible without much effort the buttons could also be removed from the Notebookbar in favor of access via the sidebar.

Yes labels are now possible for these buttons by using sfxlo-NotebookbarToolBox rather than sfxlo-SidebarToolBox for the toolbar parent and setting the toolbar style to 'text beside icons'.

With the sidebar being open by default in heikobar (bug 107423), i'd suggest removing them to give space to more important commands in insert (writer) and spreadsheet (calc). I'd suggest also removing the border related buttons from spreadsheet (calc) as well.

There is however a problem with the color button, as reported in Bug 106642.

(It should work with sfxlo-SidebarToolBox too, it just that sfxlo-SidebarToolBox shouldn't be used for the Notebookbar, because it might pick the wrong icon size, depending on the setting in Tools > Options...)
