I think the StartCenter is too bright, so is there an option to 'darken' it or change it? I've seen this - "http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/2/28/Keep_It_Simple_start_center_screenshot.png" - but I'm not sure how to use it.
Hi @jaybiz3,
One option would be to build your own copy of LibreOffice and modify the screen that way. That might be a little overkill, but I think it might get the job done :-)
You could try poking around in the LibreOffice files on disk and see if the splash screen is stored as a regular image file on disk. It's quite possible that it's been compiled-into some larger binary and you can't tweak it on-disk. For example, the image of the loading screen (with the progress bar) apparently lives here:
install/opt/libreoffice4.0/program/intro.pngIf after searching for the image file you're still stumped, please file an enhancement bug and ask for a mechanism for tweaking this file as an end-user. Don't forget to mark your bug as an 'enhancement'. The QA team will be happy to help you triage your feature request in the bugtracker.
Please post a link to any bugs you file in a comment below using the format "fdo#123456".
Thanks!
