After I upgraded LibreOffice(-bin) to 3.4.5.2-r1 three weeks ago, at first glance is, this version is so pretty because of its startup splash:


(Between 00:02 and 00:04, it's really a splash!)

It's pretty, so I decided to create a recording for it. No kidding!

But I searched on YouTube first because I didn't want to record if there was someone had done it. The videos I found all look like like the version 3.3.4 which I used before the upgrade.

I finally realized that it could be a branding version of LibreOffice because the purple theme and the text in the About dialog. I looked into the ebuild and found a link to download the branding file, direct file link. And the file confirms it.

There is a small issue with that progress bar, it's too big. I think there is a mis-type in the branding rc file. It should be 620, but 650 was typed. 2 and 5 are next to each other. Gotta find a way to notify the issue, didn't want to create a bug report for this.

"So bright... so beautiful... ah, Precious."
