<h2 id="hd_id190920161911374012">User interface layouts</h2>
<paragraph id="par_id190920161744068946" role="paragraph">The <emph>User Interface</emph> entry defines which user interface elements are visible.</paragraph>

<h3 id="par_id190920161744068819">Standard toolbar</h3>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id851612307031565">Classic mode with two visible toolbars – standard and formatting. The sidebar is partially collapsed and shows only tabs. Intended for users who are familiar with the classic interface.</paragraph>
<bookmark branch="hid/cui/ui/toolbarmodedialog/rbButton2" id="bm_id551713388179708" localize="false"/>
<h3 id="par_id190920161744069064">Tabbed</h3>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id651612308171162">In this mode, the bar is divided into tabs, where each tab displays a set of icons grouped by context. The context can also change depending on the object selected in the document, for example a table or an image. The Tabbed user interface is the most similar to the Ribbons used in Microsoft Office. It organizes functions in tabs and makes the main menu obsolete.</paragraph>

<h3 id="hd_id121612308178510">Tabbed compact</h3>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id91612308184979">The Tabbed Compact variant aims to be familiar with the Microsoft Office interface, yet occupying less space for smaller screens.</paragraph>

<h3 id="hd_id701612308190664">Groupedbar compact</h3>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id381612308201500">The Groupedbar Compact interface provides access to functions in groups, with icons for most-frequently used features, and dropdown menus for others. This compact variant favors vertical space.</paragraph>

<h3 id="par_id190920161744069136">Sidebar</h3>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id411612308221445">Standard user interface with expanded sidebar. Expert users who want to quickly change many different properties are advised to use this user interface.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id190920161744063797" role="paragraph">When user activates additional toolbars, they will be saved in the user profile. Therefore, on returning from the notebook bar mode, all toolbars set visible before will show again.</paragraph>
<note id="par_id190920161744074224">The Tabbed and Groupedbar modes are also available as compact variants.</note>
