8 Customizing the User Interface
Creating a Customized XML Configuration
File
OpenOffice.org stores most of the User Interface (UI) configuration settings in Extensible Markup Language
(XML) format. The UI components are defined in the XML-based User Interface Language (XUL) and stored in
XML files.
OpenOffice.org provides a Customize dialog box where you can make changes to most of the UI components.
For example, you could use this dialog box to add a custom menu to Writer.
You can also edit an XML UI configuration file to make your changes. The XML elements and attributes for the
OpenOffice.org UI components are described in the following sections.
Using the Customize Dialog Box
You can use the Customize dialog box to create or make changes to the following UI components:
Menus
Shortcut keys
Toolbars
Events
The changes are saved to an XML configuration file. After you make your changes in the Customize dialog box,
you can use the XML configuration file that you created to apply the changes to other OpenOffice.org
installations.
Note – For more information on the location of the individual XML configuration files, see Using a Text
Editor
To Customize Menus, Keyboard Shortcuts, Toolbars, and Events
1 Open the OpenOffice.org program where you want to customize a UI element.
2 Choose Tools → Customize
The Customize dialog box appears.
