       @lcwander Thanks for the feedback! You can submit enhancement requests here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. To get a new feature more quickly, you can consider helping our volunteers, or funding a developer. Thank you ☺️

       @jerrej Oh, LibreOffice shouldn't look like that at all! You are missing a vital desktop integration package for your distro. Search for "libreoffice-gtk" or similar in your package manager...

       @libreoffice ```apt install libreoffice-gtk3```That "fixes" it, so thank you for the suggestion, but still I must ask: why then does it look so crappy *by default*?It seems like a plausible desktop UI design from more than 25 years ago, so my guess is literally no one has touched those defaults since the late 1990s.

       @jerrej Well yes, Linux distros usually include the Gtk/Qt integration too, so the old-looking VCL interface should hardly ever come up. That's why there's no need to update it. But yes, there is an argument that when the desktop integration package is missing, LibreOffice should alert the user (while showing the old-looking VCL interface).
