I’m wondering if it would be difficult to manually remove the rainbow branding from the splash for LibreOffice in openSUSE? I don’t see a setting for it anyway. Where would I contact the maintainer for packages in openSUSE? Or package discussion? What do others think of the branding?
I am an grown adult so i don’t feel offended by a rainbow (it is not even the colors of rainbow). Why do you want to remove it? It shouldn’t be that hard to use yast software and find libreoffice-branding-openSUSE. You can see the installation/file path there and can exchange the icons yourself if you feel the urgent need for it.
I am not seeing this. I only see, very shortly, a small rectangle while LibreOffice Writer is starting, with a ruler and at the right some colourful. image, to short to really identify what it is supposed to be, but definitely not a rainbow. But I am not really interested, I want to see the workspace asap.
Of course it is Open Source, so you can download the source and change the image to your on liking.
You only see the libreoffice splash screen when you open the main program libreoffice (no application like writer or so…). You can also simply remove libreoffice-branding-openSUSE in yast-software and the standard libreoffice branding will be installed/used. It’s also not hard to google “disable libreoffice splash screen”.
I am always happy to see a rainbow, but have just disabled the LibreOffice splash screen for other reasons. Adding “–nologo” to the Exec line in each application .desktop file should deliver what you are asking for.
By you feeling that you need to state that you don’t feel offended because you’re an adult suggests to me that you thought that I was offended, which I’m not. I wasn’t aware of the libreoffice-branding-openSUSE package and how branding works. Thank you for mentioning it.
Sorry, I’m not understanding your meaning of wanting to see the workspace asap.
Thanks, sure I use a search engine most of the time, I think that the reason I didn’t in this instance is that I wasn’t able to find anything and that I wasn’t sure how to put it into a search phrase.
Thank you!
Try this
libreoffice --nologo
Too late to edit:
You can add the
--nologo
in the libre office command in your launcher.
In case anyone else is searching for the same question and finds this thread in a search engine:
Install the package *libreoffice-branding-upstream
Zypper will say that this package conflicts with libreoffice-branding-openSUSE. Choose, Solution 1: deinstallation of libreoffice-branding-openSUSE-.noarch and it will remove libreoffice-branding-openSUSE and install libreoffice-branding-upstream.
Upstream is the standard LibreOffice branding and logo as the developers intended.
Then add a lock to the package *libreoffice-branding-openSUSE. *See *zypper help *for more information about package locking. In brief, package locking prevents a package from being updated or installed.
*sudo zypper in libreoffice-branding-upstream

sudo zypper addlock libreoffice-branding-openSUSE
