Hi everyone,
Since it seems like LibreOffice won't adopt the UI Oracle's preparing for
OOo, I'm starting a massive LibreOffice UI proposal series. Here's the
intro: http://clickortap.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/citrus-ui/


Given the prevalence of wide screen displays, I always wondered why the
tool bars are often placed on the top and bottom.  It's seems more logical
to place them on the left or right, where there is more space.

The main reason why most toolbars aren't vertical is because most languages
read horizontally, and therefore it makes most sense to put text
horizontally, not vertically, to make it simple to read.
Icon-only toolbars, like the "Insert" toolbar/Drawing toolbox, and sidebar
are vertical.
