We've come a long way... Check out this screenshot of LibreOffice 3.4 from 2011, compared with how it looks today (with the shiny NotebookBar user interface)! #ThrowbackThursday
@Prucker Hard to say, without more details about your setup (operating system, exact LibreOffice version etc.) You probably want to disable the main menu, and also in Extras > Options, choose bigger icons...
I really love LibreOffice and hate to say it, but on my fresh install of Fedora the out of the box experience doesn't look great 😕. It's the same as 2011 but now with blurry monochrome icons.
Thanks - that looks much better! Why wouldn't svg icons be default in this day and age, though? Also if I manually select SVG icons then the icons no longer follow dark/light mode system preference.
@tomjwatson That's fair. But is there any point in even support non-SVG anymore? (that is to say, is there any case where non-SVG icons have an advantage? Performace perhaps?)
@loke @tomjwatson Check on bugs.documentfoundation.org for details, but there could be cases where non-SVG makes sense (especially on older operating systems) and we try to avoid removing things that some people are still using. Maybe one day it'll go, but only when we're sure that everyone can use SVG with no issues!
@tomjwatson Thank you for the clarification. I agree with what you say, especially since I in the same thread are asking you not to remove the traditional menus.

in reply to LibreOffice • • •So it went from just Writer to all 3 of Impress, Calc and Writer stacked on top of each other? ;)
Good progress, but could have shown just Writer back in the day and Writer today. Was confused for a while what I am looking at :)

in reply to LibreOffice • • •@tomjwatson SVG icons definitely looks better. Why is that not the default? The defaults looked pretty bad on my Fedora.
The tabbed interface though, ouch, somewhat unpleasant to use. Please don't remove the standard menus.
