Mike, * Those buttons [1] are default elements of the "Presentation" toolbar. It is by default docked after the "Standard" toolbar, but its docking position can be moved to any toolbar dock location. When in Slide Master mode, we get the similar "Master View" toolbar.
We have an Open UX enhancement issue in tdf#89668 [2] to provide the buttons on the Slide Pane panel, and possibly reposition the docking location of the "Presentation" toolbar, or just remove/hide the toolbar when alternative .UI buttons are added to the Slide Pane.

On Impress it's buried in the toolbar somewhere on the right and not given any particular importance. One of the most basic actions is less usable in one tool over the other. A succession of little things like this compound the hassle of using the tool." Looking at it in LO 5.3, in the top toolbar, there are 26 buttons before the trio of slide operations (new, duplicate, remove) appear. Would it make sense to move these closer to the left, given their importance? Another option would be to have a big "New slide" button under the slide thumbnails on the left. Of course, I'm not a UX guy so there may well be a reason for those icons being where they are. Just some thoughts, in any case :-) -- Mike Saunders, Marketing & PR The Document Foundation -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
