The UI picker and the UI customization are different approaches. The classic interface with menus and toolbars allows to easily add/remove items while the Notebookbar variants, which you pick in the extra dialog, also have some customization capabilities but not beyond on/off, similar to right click on a classic toolbar and the "Visible Button" function. In a perfect world where all aspects of any UI can be configured, would it make sense to save a customization as a UI variant? Maybe the functionality is straight-forward but I don't see the use case. The UI picker was introduced to "sell" the Notebookbars and make the first selection easier. But you presumably never change the UI again. And I see no benefit in having two or more customization variants anyway. On the other hand, in the spirit of MUFFIN if we can find some way to consolidate the various customizations (NB, toolbars, menus, context-menus) as recorded to user profile into a package--that could be backed up and restored. For example following a safe-mode profile reset. Let's keep the ticket at least for reference. We are not even close to an implementation but a comprehensive customization is desirable. *** Bug 141692 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 142032 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The "Notebookbar" tab in Tools - Customize showed up in 6.4 with commit 015dc88a595c1c92d2b724cd868aecb07199f995 Author: Sumit Chauhan on Fri May 31 14:59:54 2019 +0530 UI for the Notebookbar Customization tab Justin Luth committed a patch related to this issue.
