Situation: I’m using powerpoint for many years almost daily in my job and I know a lot of the features pretty well. At home I dualboot win11/fedora on my laptop and I recently gave onlyoffice a go, as libreoffice is just too ugly. However I was surprised how good onlyoffice is from a user perspective. It’s very very well done - I love it. Guess I’m going to change to it where I can :).
Problem: The only thing which I don’t like, is that the quick access toolbar consumes unnecessary space on the top. When working with my laptop I don’t want to waste that space just for these Save/Undo/Print buttons. Even when disabling all the buttons, the space is still wasted. Also the filename and the logged user is shown in that line. Its just too much space wasted for all the stuff on the top. The big toolbar I need to work with, so that can’t go away. MS office improved that a while ago by bringing all of that stuff to the very top. I know you have the tabs and I think they’re great.
Request: Personally I don’t need these buttons at all, because for Undo/Redo/Save I use the very common keyboard shortcuts and for printing I don’t mind to go over File → Save. But I guess there are users which want these buttons so I’d suggest to bring them to the very top. So you would have then from the left side:
Onlyoffice | quicktoolbar | Tab1 | Tab2 | Tab3 …| logged user | window close buttons|
The quicktoolbar could remain configurable as today.
Note1: I think it would make sense to have this quicktoolbar then unified for all the programs (document / presentation / spreadsheet…). So “Start slideshow from beginning” doesn’t really fit there. Anyway I’m more used to have this one on the bottom right so that could go rather there.
Note2: The filename is anyway in the Tab already so this one is not needed in my opinion again on the top center.
