New (optional) UI mode: categorized (ribbon-like) toolbars
Background
LibreOffice recently re-worked their toolbar UI and introduced a ribbon-like UI in their latest version. Actually they offer different methods, i.e. one just grouping and one more-ribbon like with categories.
Feature request
Now, obviously this is inspired by MS Office, but I really like LibreOffice adopted it. (in a nice and optional way letting users choose the UI they like) However, IMHO, it does not have to stop here. I really think it makes sense for a lot more "complex" applications.
So: introduce a ribbon-like UI in Inkscape!
User Story: As a (not-power-, but irregularly) user of this complex application, I want an easy and fast UI to quickly find features.
Reasons:
- cleaner (modern) UI
- It makes sense for new users. You don't have to search through deep menus to find a feature.
- You can (IMHO) better remember where a tool was…
- You can display slightly bigger icons, making them more “readable”
- You can display special elements in there, too, not only buttons, but actually config options
- You can display the actions suited for the currently supported tool/view/element/…
- …
