Features, Office The OpenOffice.org team has been experimenting with a new user interface for the suite of programs, and they've presented the first rough prototype of this new interface, more specifically for Impress. The general gist? It's Microsoft Office 2007's ribbon interface.

Srolling toolbar...you like?

If you try out the prototype try the scrolling toolbar concept. With a bit of polish and some beautiful/tasteful icons it could work very well. For a screenshot see: http://myunix.org/2009/08/06/new-ui-design-for-open-office-star-off...

Does anyone else like this concept? I think it is much better than the "ribbon" style but I'm keen to hear others opinions on it.
