Not 12 but 16 options, okay. And consolidation is always good. But this aside I don't see much advantage. In particular the widget is not a toggle and lacks on feedback what is applied to the cell(s), see bug 113606 and bug 38543 (widget should be the same on Writer). We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Not much of an advantage and maybe even too much for users. Spacing between items is too large. Advantage of the sidebar widget is the double-underlined border, which is often used in Calc. It would be even better to have a small set of standard items and some "recently used" or "favorites". Last but not least, if the exercise aims to consolidate code it might be a lost battle since the current toolbar widget is used in Writer as well. But the diagonal "borders" are a Calc-only feature. So the recommendation is WF. Adding bug 146468 to "See Also" as it is a similar request.

The situation has evolved a bit, since the diagonal "borders" are being added to Writer: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/120262 |
