Description: LibreOffice offers a few new appearance modes/user interfaces, Which can be accessed via the menu. At the moment there are 5 different options to choose from. it is quite difficult for a regular user to know which mode would suit him/her best. It would be nice to have some kind of explanation rightly available so that the user understand the goal of each mode. I included a screenshot of another office suite which offers this information to its users, which makes it easy to chose if this style is something he/she would like to use Steps to Reproduce: 1.
