There is no entry in tabbed UI to access the new document themes options. Version: 7.6.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 60(Build:3) CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 6.4; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+wayland) Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US 7.6.0-1 Calc: threaded
Yes, I also couldn't find it in Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 2ae9eb8be8d7eb9c3a72953a295d128b45639ea3 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded
This is .uno:ThemeDialog (Format -> Theme in the classic Writer menu). I'm not sure this is worthy of a place in the notebookbar yet. I mean - what does it actually do? AFAIK, it can only be used to adjust themes created by other word processors - and that LO can't initiate the use of themes. Plus where would you put it? Since it is a per-document setting it probably makes the most sense to put it in the layout tab. Where does Microsoft put it?
Created attachment 190563 [details] Ribbon-Word.png: the most common ribbons in Word 2019 (not including Design tab!!!) (In reply to Justin L from comment #2) > Where does Microsoft put it? In the design tab... which is not included in my image. So they basically created an entire tab to handle the theme it seems like.
This should be valid for Writer and Impress. Calc has Theme button in Layout. If those exist in Classic, they should also be in Tabbed. Not the same issue, but I am not clear why Theme is grayed in Impress Classic.
(In reply to Timur from comment #4) > Calc has Theme button in Layout. That is .uno:ChooseDesign, not ThemeDialog.
(In reply to Timur from comment #4) > If those exist in Classic, they should also be in Tabbed. No, Notebookbar is much more space constrained than Classic. Only useful things should be on the Notebookbar.

UX, is there some guidance what is considered useful and what is omited from Tabbed UI?

HIG has a section on Tabbed / Tabbed Compact https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Guidelines/ToolBar Another tab "Design" makes not much sense to me. It would be suited for Layout maybe. The NB's are very much designed on personal preferences and by occasional input here. We don't have numbers and elaborated scenarios to justify the one interaction over another.
Let's add it to the context menu for now. .uno:ThemeDialog needs to be added in sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/notebookbar.ui (similar to MenuPage-Watermark)
