The “home page” for LibreOffice (v. 6.4.6.2) displays reproductions of the last documents I’ve opened. But for some reason - and this didn’t used to be true - the reproductions are quite large, and they’re surrounded by a lot of blank space. The result is that only six documents appear at once; one must scroll down to see more. Is there any way to display smaller versions closer together so that more of them appear on the home screen?
Please edit your question to say which OS you are using

What specifically “didn’t used to be true”: their “quite large” size, or their spacing? And in which version? (Just tested that v.4.2, which had added the thumbnails, had the same size.)
Try to make the window a little wider. Possibly that would fix the large spacing issue: when there’s not enough space for seven, LibreOffice would show six, but would position them to “fill” the available width, so the spacing would increase. Adding a little more space would create space for the seventh, and the positioning of the thumbnails would become more dense.
Thanks for your reply. I’m running Windows 10. On my laptop, which also uses Windows 10, I have v. 6.2.8.2 of LibreOffice, and it shows a 5 x 3 array of 15 recent documents – rather than only 3 x 2. Is that because of different versions or is there some display command that (re)set itself and that I can adjust?
It likely only depends of the screen resolution and UI scaling set up on your Windows. If your screens are, say, 1920x1080 on one system, and 1280x1024 on another, you would of course have different amount of information (e.g., preview tiles) available on these two displays.
Right you are. Many thanks.
