    syncing openoffice toolbar layouts?

    I've successfully managed to set up a home dir syncing solution with unison, including firefox bookmarks. I've been unsuccessful finding exactly what needs to be synced for the layout of openoffice apps to transfer over.

    For example, I customize most of my toolbars and arrange them in a non-standard way; this is time consuming, I fiddle with it frequently, and manually propagating those changes to my other computer is a hassle.

    Does anyone know where/which config file stores these toolbars and their layout in openoffice, so that I can add that file/folder to my sync list?

    Regards,

    David

    I don't know where the defaults are stored but I have noticed that all custom toolbars & their layouts are stored with the document.

    Save an empty document as a template.
    To start a new document with the same layouts, select template & then the name of the template you saved.

    In version 3.1.1 my templates are saved in
    ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/template/

    jdb

    Some hints here: [Tutorial] The OOo user profile. See the *.xcu files related to each component.
