--- Comment #8 from Hartmut Schorrig <[email protected]> --- As a normal, but sw-technical oriented user, I agree really to the origial requirement from Yousuf Philips in 2017-11-14. But, ... the consideration should be, who (which person) should responsible to change the appearance of the status bar. If anybody can do it with very simple handling, then sometimes stupid things may be done, and afterwards questions and discussions are taken etc. The same may be also possible for the toolbar configuration: A normal user switches off an important entry, accendently with too less knowledge, and then ask "where is the entry". Are such cases evident? That's why, according to my requirements and in my opinion, changing the appearance of the status bar may be sufficiently done by editing a plain text file in the .config/libreoffice/4/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swriter/statusbar/ directory. Means immediately in the XML file (better in a Yaml or such, or a plain text with simple syntax). Then only an expert for such dares to change something. And he/she sees by itself as responsible to proper working. But - I have looked in this directory, under Linux debian 12. It is empty. In opposite, in .../toolbar directory I see the XML file only with my changes (or the whole config, not exactly analyzed. It means, if the given configuration is stored there, and removing one topic (for example the page style is not necessary for me) is successfull, then only the question remains, how to enter new entries. But this is a question of help for uno commands, possible for the expert. That would be a simple solution with not too much effort for this feature request. I understand and agree, that introducing a complex UI-handling to change the status bar with inside LibreOffice is a greater challenge, not simple to solve for all considerations and user types. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
