Description compata 2003-07-13 00:25:00 UTC 
OOoWriter nicely permits me to use text labels in buttons instead of the default
icons. But the resulting buttons are hugely larger than the corresponding icons
so that only two or three can fit into a toolbar. To see and use the remaining
buttons requires scrolling the toolbar.

1. Rather than having each text label button be the same (full) size, please
make each button only so large as is necessary to contain the actual text of the
label.

2. Consider making text label buttons only half as high as icons, allowing two
rows of buttons to appear at once on a toolbar.

3. Provide a way for a user to change the font (style and size) used for the
text labels, and adjust the size of each button along with any changes.

These suggested changes mostly mirror how WordPerfect, versions 7 and 8, behave.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".

Need to truncate text string length and use only prominent word on toolbar. Entire string can be displayed when mouse over.
GUI font should be easily changed.
