@theron29 What version of LibreOffice are you using?

@max Already being worked on: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GTK4 – If you want the work to progress more quickly, give us a hand 😊

@unruhe Without any details (exact LibreOffice version, Linux distribution, desktop environment and toolkit in use) it's very hard for us to say. You can let our Design community know with a bug report at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org but please do provide lots of details about your setup, otherwise we can only make random guesses...

@GrahamDowns Yes! A choice during installation (if possible) or on first-start would perhaps be a good way to keep long-term users happy, but ensure new users get something they may prefer too. Let's see what our @libodesign team thinks...

Update time: #LibreOffice 24.2.3 is now available. This is the third minor update to the 24.2 branch, that we released in February this year: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/05/02/libreoffice-24-2-3-community/

@GrahamDowns There are no plans to remove the "traditional" layout – so no worries 😉 Regarding making something the default, that's a difficult task we have to juggle.

Is our goal to help as many people as possible to use Free and Open Source software?

If yes, we need to make an app that's appealing and welcoming to new users too. Making the tabbed interface the default on new installations one day may be important in that. But of course, with a very obvious way to switch...

@GrahamDowns Then... Just don't use it. It's purely optional, created by volunteers who want it. The traditional user interface isn't going away, as mentioned.

Did you know that #LibreOffice has a tabbed user interface option? Make sure you're using the latest release, LibreOffice 24.2, to get the most from it! (And you can find it in the menu under View > User Interface...) #foss #opensource #freesoftware

@housepanther 🥰

Catch up on what's happening in the #LibreOffice project and community! Here's what we did in April: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2024/04/30/libreoffice-project-and-community-recap-april-2024/ #foss #opensource

@Albirew Not yet! You could submit it as an enhancement request here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. To get a new feature more quickly, you can consider helping our volunteers, or funding a developer. Thank you ☺️👍

@ben You OK there buddy? 😁

@Julleee That would be great! If you need commercial support options, please see: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-in-business/

@edi Not a missed chance – an opportunity for someone to add it! We do all we can, but we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. If you'd like that extra feature, please help us to implement it 😊 https://www.libreoffice.org/community/get-involved/

@jgamble It says "OLE Object" here (LibreOffice 24.2). What version are you using, on what operating system?

Did you know that #LibreOffice has a built-in QR and barcode generator? Now you do 😉 https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/qrcode.html #foss #opensource

@uglyhack Good tips! Let's share them with our followers 😉
