This option works best, right now, with a window that’s fully maximized.Ĭontextual single is essentially the same as the conventional icon bar with two changes: The icons are smaller, and the conventional icon bar would indicate with a drop-down arrow when icons overflowed out of view to the right. However, in the version of LibreOffice I tested, the groups won't resize to fit if you resize the application window, like Office’s ribbon does the groups simply overflow across the right edge of the window.
(Notebookbar is the general term used in LibreOffice for the new toolbar layout.) Users can choose one of three basic styles for the notebookbar:Ĭontextual groups are similar to Microsoft Office’s ribbon arrangement, with the most common menu options displayed in labeled groups. When it’s enabled by way of the Toolbar layout menu option, MUFFIN adds a new Notebookbar option to the View menu in LibreOffice apps.
MUFFIN will co-exist with the current UI - for now. The idea isn’t so much to replace the existing UI, a la Microsoft Office’s “ribbon” interface, as to provide an optional approach that can be toggled on by the user.

The latest pre-release version of the free and open source productivity suite LibreOffice 5.3 comes with a new tab-style UI codenamed MUFFIN (My User Friendly & Flexible INterface), which is an alternative to the old-school icon-bar UI found in previous versions of LibreOffice and its predecessor OpenOffice.
