 <H2>UI component replacement</H2>
 <H3>Dialog replacement</H3>
 <P>The replacement of dialogs can be achieved by intercepting the
 slots (already possibly). To enable users to intercept slots an
 automatically generated documentation of all configurable slots has
 to be created from the sdi-files and the related slot-resource files.
 If possible the help texts for the slots should be added.
 </P>
 <P>To increase performance the dialogs are to be moved to
 load-on-call libraries. A factory to implement this has to be
 defined.
 </P>
 <H3>Replacement of PopupMenues</H3>
 <P>A list of non-standard PopupMenues has to be collected. The
 standard popupMenue is created from SfxDispatcher::ExecutePopup().</P>
 <H3>Replacement of Menu/Toolbox/Accelerators
 </H3>
 <P>To change the Menu/Toolbox/Accelerator configuration at runtime an
 XML-based interface will be introduced.
 </P>
 <P>In the near future it will not be possible to replace the
 controller that are bound to the slots and also not possible to
 register own controllers.
 </P>
 <P>The possibility of configuring inline scripts has to be checked.
 </P>
 <P>It has to be checked whether hard-coded accelerators are used and
 how they can be replaced.
 </P>
 <H3>Properties of views</H3>
 <P>All configurable view elements (ScrollBars, Help tips, Rulers,
 object bars) should be accessible via API and not be overwritten by
 user interface actions. This will prevent the necessity of
 implementing hacks like hiding the StatusBar in the Help UI or
 preventing Help tips in the writer.
 </P>
 <P>It has to be determined how changes of view properties are
 propagated to existing views. Today some settings only affect the
 current and future views (like Scrollbars, Rulers) and some are
 applied to all existing views (like ObjectBar, StatusBar).</P>
 <P>Missing view properties have to be found and implemented (like
 help tip).</P>
