Description Eyal Rozenberg 2025-06-06 12:15:40 UTC 
(See bug 164970 comment 50)

A UI customization the choice in which may be meaningful for newbie users is the choice of what to put on toolbar buttons: icons only, text only, or icons + text.

At the moment, this choice can only be made at the single-toolbar level, in the Tools > Customize... dialog. There is no UI for setting this for all toolbars at once; and I don't know whether such a universal setting exists in the backend.

I would like to have that choice, e.g. in Tools > Options...

+1 to allow single selection (Icon only, Text only, Icon and Text) to apply across the UI, the reworked Tools -> Options -> Appearance panel seems reasonable since Icons theme selection is being moved there.

Expect it would be exposed for the First launch welcome that way.

Possibly also some type of control on the View -> Toolbars menu? Placed with the customize, reset, and lock control.  Where on menu it is better discoverable for those needing AT.

That would be nice too, but not sure if that should be covered by the same bug. But - let "doers decide" perhaps?

Sure, but scope of work needed to set icon/text values globally from a Tools -> Options -> Appearance panel would require little more to provide as UNO for menu use. 

While addition of such a control on the View -> Toolbars menu would be appropriate to service notated blocked 'accessibility' issues. 

No sense to splitting to a new issue.
