The terminal extension and the taskbar extension in the panel

Problem description: 
A GNOME3 Extension Provides much flexibility.
This request is about making better use of this for GNOME desktop environment.
This request will help designing a very customizable toolbar using the capabilities of HTML and Javascript.

Steps to reproduce:
1. A gnome3 extension can be developed with a very customizable HTML 
   interface / a ms office ribbon likeinterface which uses dbus for 
   communication with libreoffice applications.
2. It can have a drop down thing like drop down terminal extension of 
   gnome3, a drop down should open whenever libreoffice is opened.
3. It can also have tabs using source-code from the taskbar gnome3  
   extension.
4. Also for Bold, Italic and Underline AND alignment options buttons
   like  the nautilus location bar should be used using CSS and check
   and radio buttons respectively.
5. I suggest using Black and white themes like Faenza Icons

Current behavior: The libreoffice toolbar looks dull and many a times 
     buttons are hard to find. Customization doesnt bring much change 
     and separators should be dynamic.

Expected behavior:The libreoffice toolbar will look interesting.
     Buttons will be easier to find as HTML customiztion will have 
     flexibitity and separators would be dynamic.

              
Operating System: Fedora
Version: 3.6.6.2 release

The proposed UI
Comment 2 Megh Parikh 2013-05-23 16:46:17 UTC
The GS idea was abandoned because I heard this is possible with GTK
And then libreoffice can use this interface
Comment 3 Megh Parikh 2013-05-23 16:46:56 UTC
Also include support for the older interface
Comment 4 mahfiaz 2013-05-23 18:45:16 UTC
This on here is generally a proposal to use ribbons but with extra suggestions about choice of tools, which makes it duplicate of #56711.
Also, it is not a good idea to make main toolbar to work over dbus.

As for monochromatic icons, these are already in works.

The Dbus idea was dropped
Also this UI is quite diff from MS office Ribbon inteface
Pls see the new atachment : " The proposed UI "
what i mean by opening the menus line is like pressing Alt key + (F/E/V,etc.)
I have provided button which will open the line
I like the menus UI rather than opening each menu as toolbar (Like ribbon)

pressing the Alt key in firefox

I think I should file it has a new bug as much of my idea has changed
Comment 7 Megh Parikh 2013-05-24 17:43:45 UTC
The GNOME idea was dropped as i learned form GS list that this could be done through GTK
and no need for GS when GTK is so flexible

Thanks for adding your idea here. Actually the toolbar is being under review close to what you suggest. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/NotebookBar

The reference ticket is 80752, so I close this one as a duplicate.
