Most tool bar buttons are never or rarely used.

Only frequently used buttons shall be shown by default. And only when it
is not more intuitive than the right click menu, like when copying and
pasting or per object action.

The status bar can also be hidden in some of these applications, the
same as the sidebar contracted by default.

Here are some suggested defaults:

Good interface design shows what is currently in use in that very
moment, or used constantly. And gets rid of everything else.

Hi Alberto, thanks for posting.

But, would observe that if they were useless--button widgets (and other
toolbar GUI controls)--they would not exist to link to the .uno commands
they control.

Would say this is back to our ongoing Benjamin vs. Eve discussion. What
minimum set of features should be presented in a default UI to provide a
well functioning and intuitive UI but at the same time not annoy
experienced users by requiring excessive UI customization beyond
defaults.

And of course this is compounded by our hybrid mix of static and dynamic
or modal toolbars that assert depending on the object with focus--or
task being performed.

So, hope you see that handling Toolbar default configurations are not as
simple as you have put forward.
