            + we are promoting this functionality with the new 'Remote Files' dialog
              but as it doesnt function right, many duplicate bugs are just being filed and closed.

            + onedrive - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62437
            + send in patch to hide OneDrive - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/22881/

        + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92218
        + https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/22818
    
        + The idea was to have choice, not the default - right? (Kendy)
            + Yes, possibility to have only one row for the users that prefer such layout (Jay)
            + Created the xml file, hope to have a developer to switch easily (Jay)

        + The reason for the white is technical - cannot use the API in the sandboxed app (Kendy)
        + Actually in the newer macOS, the look changed, but LibreOffice still uses the old look (Jay)
    
        + We try to look as a native application (Kendy)
            + But we don’t have to (Jay)
            + The easiest would be to do a uniform color (Jay)
        + Would be good to add screenshots of some contemporary macOS apps, to mimic the look better (Kendy)
            + Will ask Steve (Jay)
            + iWork - http://notebooks.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/pages-tool-tips.jpg / http://tidbits.com/resources/2014-10/iwork-mac-toolbars.png / https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U3p_cTb0d80/maxresdefault.jpg

        + logerrit needed for help repo - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98488
