Description:
As a LibreOffice User

I'd like to have an extra option called CSD under Menu Button -> User Interface that Allow LibreOffice to suit best under Gnome DE (Linux, BSD and others)

In order to provide some idea, I made this mockup in this link https://i.redd.it/pueoy9sioyd61.png you can find the very same mockup in this link too https://imgur.com/a/zSn0oEq

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any application of LibreOffice suite in gnome
2.Click on Menu button -> User Interface


Actual Results:
See that there's no option that fits best under Gnome UI Guidelines

Expected Results:
Find an option that makes any LibreOffice Suite application fit best under Gnome Guidelines


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

A mockup of LibreOfficeWriter using gnome UI Guidelines

I have made this mockup to illustrate better how LibreOffice could look when using Gnome UI Guideline, I made it considering features that LibreOffice already have that being
Ribbons for all Features
Possibility to choose between User Interfaces by adding one more option called CSD

This way I think LibreOffice could benefit for looking best on Gnome Desktop Environment and expand it's user base

The mockup looks great! I hope this is considered while I wonder if there's a theming engine that could achieve that if not.
Comment 3 V Stuart Foote 2021-01-29 21:35:35 UTC 
Mockup is appealing, but unrealistic.

Use of native os/DE code for Client Side Decoration comes up from time to time, but as a cross platform project it is considered out of scope. There is no compelling need to implement CSD for LibreOffice and a whole bunch of pain in supporting it if we did.

This remains a WF as the duplicate.
