## Telegram spammer

**Quick update (Muhammet)**

- COOL Community Roundup #7 published: [https://www.collaboraoffice.com/online/collabora-online-community-roundup-7/](https://www.collaboraoffice.com/online/collabora-online-community-roundup-7/)

**Toolbar changes (Andreas Kainz)**

- Opened an issue with UI changes

**Contextual toolbars (Andreas Kainz)**

- Opened an issue to talk with Szymon

- Top toolbar javascript file is a bit of a mess compared to menubar

- Everything in one array – can be too much content.

- Would like different arrays for the toolbars ticket #861

## Dynamic changes of Toolbar type (Gabriel)

- did some tests, it works for different views

- two views from the same document with different toolbars it seems to work

- discuss with Szymon – is it ok ?

- Both in Notebookbar mode but only one shown ? (Michael)

- Added a parameter to the document URL, passed as an option to core

- Activate or de-activate the setting, setting it to default or notebookbar.

- Not tested so much, just opening seems to work

- when it was developed – in the transition period – we had all at once (Kendy)

- Good to test : (Michael)

- Per document – setting, passed to core as an option …

- Perhaps add a parameter to the viewshell (Szymon)

- For the classic menu/toolbar we do ourselves (Kendy)

- Just stick inNotebookbar mode always ? (Michael)

- Design → mode set through a URL parameter that opens a document (Gabriel)

## CanvasTileLayer bits (Gokay)

- Some improvements that should fix Writer & Impress rendering.

- Fixing calc row/column headers soon to align with the,

- Crisp pixels at every zoom level

- Working on a selection issue …

- Getting rid of the confusion of co-ordinate systems slowly.

- Will this be iin 6.4.x

**Icon theming (css class names)**

- Other meanSome progress (Pedro)

1. being loaded via CSS – background images.

2. Client-side vs. Server-side things …

- Even though it all looks good on paper, load on-line, not see that change.

- Trying to avoid complexity on the server-side, keep it as CSS

- thought we could have better luck with CSS filters

- good news, easy to change colors with CSS masks

- didn’t get back on this before being 100 % sure what we should do.

- What if – not loading each icon one by one (Andreas K)

- Can we get theming / post information in the server ? (Michael)

- **AI:** have a call to sort it out (Kendy, Pedro, Andreas K?)

## Staging server re-starts for latest commit …

- need a hole in a cron-tab for our meeting there.

## Back-port to 6.4.x -\> yes CanvasTileLayer …

- re-writing to make it work nicely.

- can use the browser vs. client zoom.

- look forward to testing.

## Impress speedups

- Mert -\> Impress tile rendering …

watermarks.

- Quikee -\> PDF rendering speedup

## Filter bits (Szymon)

- auto-filter drop-downs are ready

- looking at Pivot Table dialogs

- needs to be styled with CSS.

- it looks a bit ugly.

- Drag & Drop is working there.

## Maintaining UIs (Andreas K)

- Propose:

- Re-using the notebookbar from core is pain.

- Not a fan of a new notebookbar implementation in JS / Online (Michael)

- Classic toolbar layout & the notebookbar (Andreas)

- Re-using the notebookbar UI from core (Michael)

- We want to do as much as possible in the core ultimately (Kendy)

- So the classic layout in the end would use the menu-bar XML from core (Andreas K)

- Technically this helps us to fix the core LibreOffice as well as doing Online (Michael)

- Other examples – lots of little dialogs we don’t want to duplicate (Michael)

- Notebookbar – spare-time maintained by Andreas & Szymon in the core (AndreasK)

**Blog post about the iOS app upgrade (Nicolas)**

- Draft version is in internal (Adfinis) review :

- Will share it with Collabora as soon as our internal review is done
