Man if Libre peeps and OnlyOffice UI/UX devs joined forces, we would be living in the year 3000.
I’ve been using LibreOffice as an MS Office replacement for a decade or so, although most of my documents are still on Google docs. The LibreOffice UI seems to have never really improved at all, and even the updating experience is annoying. I don’t understand how such a lucrative productivity app has no developer support behind it?
OpenOffice got me really excited, because that UI seems modern and polished. It’s really unfortunate that it’s mostly we lb based and apparently really slow.
So yeah, 100% agree with you. LibreOffice with the OpenOffice UI would be 🔥
I assume you mean OnlyOffice
Oops, yeah, I did!
Btw, There’s about 4 UI’s with two variants each in view > user interface.
Idk, LibreOffice UI seems pretty decent for me.
It’s this the new UI? It’s been a while since I use LibreOffice and the UI was worse than office 2003.
It’s not a default but I just changed it to tabbed view in the settings, picked Sifr icons in the settings, and installed adw-gtk3 theme on GNOME which makes gtk3 apps blend more with the default libadwaita GNOME theme.
OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice?
So I use both for work… Libre for most things, but for spreadsheets or powerpoints that are a bit more complex, onlyoffice works/looks better.
I just prefer the looks of OnlyOffice, but I have heard people having localization problems with it. For my tiny use cases it has worked good so far.
isn’t onlyoffice as a service only. can it be installed as just a local application?
No it’s a local application like Libre. Can also be ran in the cloud.
