Any chance OO Calc's UI can become more like that of Google Docs?

There's just something about it. Maybe it's the simplicity. Maybe it's the
colors. Maybe it's the grid. Maybe it's the fact that they've spent millions of
dollars on usability research.

Picasso once said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal". Please consider
it.

--- Comment #1 from Dwayne Henderson <it...@gmail.com> ---
Inspired by Google Docs:

1. Remove the majority of details from our icons, make them monochrome and
perhaps slightly reshape some of them

2. Remove the gradients, replace them with light shades of grey and blue (with
subtle slightly darker outlines when it's necessary to separate things)

3. Reduce the two icon / dropdown bars to just one
3.1. Make Calc track which icons / dropdowns are most popular so we know which
ones to display (and so we can base our UI on our own data and not just blindly
copy Google's)

4. Put the most popular number formats in the Format menu
