ui improvements proposals

Hi,

Here goes some features proposals to improve OpenOffice UI. 

- Create a popdown menu like the one of the
"new" button but in the "open"
button in witch will apear the recently opened documents.
   Delphi and Lazarus(lazarus.freepascal.org) already have
something like this.

- join the alignment buttons in one button with a popdown
menu like coler choser button. You also see this in
WordPerfect.

 - Create themes for the organization of menus and buttons.
Examples of themes could be: "MS Offce, WordPerfect
Office, OpenOffice.org,
OpenOffice.org 1.x. This way people could change the layout
to the one they are more used to, and the learning curve
becomes small. WordPerfect 
Office already have something like this.

 - Make pssible to dock some windows in the rigth or/and
left side of the main window like in CoreDraw e like the
screenshot that goes attached
 to this mail. One tab should be created automaticaly for
each window and note like i did, I just created a toolbar.
The left-sidebar of 
Konqueror also does this.

- Create a code editor like the formula editor but to be
used by all OpenOffice application to edit the xml code like
the one in wordPerfect.
this is already one of the proposals of wp.openoffice.org.
This will be very useful for Writer HTML.

- Create something like Perfect Expert.

Most of this feature are based in Corel WordPerfect
Office(till 11, didn't tested lastest version) witch is
much easy to use than MS Office 
and you should stop coping MS Office IU, please look more to
worperfect.
I know people that used MS Offce some years and when started
using wordperfect said that it is much easier.
I also read that Lotus SmartSuite and WordPerfect Office are
the best Office suits but i didn't tested SmartSuite.

Now I only use and recoment OpenOffice.org but i miss some
feature and usability.

Sorry for my bad english but i'm Portugese.

Best wishes
