Description jayze 2005-10-02 20:03:11 UTC 
Probably a stupid idea but worth asking anyway: I'm used to the gui of OOo 
1.1.3, 4, 5, etc. Version 2.0beta2 is a radical change and many of the 
functions I found so easily in 1.1.4 are now difficult to either find or 
confusing (because they have new terminology). Would it be possible to please 
supply an option in OOo 2.0 that allows the user to view the application 
(whichever one) in the "classical" way i.e. basically the option being to 
either view the new gui or the old one (maybe in Tools->Options->View)?

Hi jayze,

thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice.org...

It was quite a lot of work to change the GUI/Toolbars "deep inside the Office"
and I'm pretty sure the responsible developers won't change this back to
OOo1.x.x feeling...
This included removing a lot of old code and replace it with new code (said in a
simple way...)

One goal of the new design is to make users coming from other "Offices" feel a
lot more familiar with OpenOffice.org...

Sorry, but I don't see a way to re-implement the oldfashioned design...
