= Context menu and menu customization dialog =

{{Specification_Header|[mailto:Carsten.Driesner@Oracle.com Carsten Driesner] ([http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:cd cd])|25. Nov 2010|Preliminary}}

== Abstract  ==

The customization dialog for menus is not that intuitive as it could be. Thanks to the work from Ariel Constenla-Haile during the Internship 2010 context menus are now also customizable by XML files. Therefore a better design which covers context menus and menu bar customization is needed.

== Motivation  ==

There are several users who want to customize their work environment to their needs. Currently users can change the menu bar, toolbars and the status bar. Context menus are not available for customization although they provide easy access to context dependent functions.

== Detailed Specification  ==
