Description Gilvan Vilarim 2013-12-13 22:44:20 UTC

LibreOffice should change slightly its splash screen, when a new version is released (like 4.1, 4.2 etc)

A different (maybe more beautiful, changing pictures in background) splash screen enhances perception that we have a new version, specially for regular users. The number of the version could also be shown in big letters.

It is a simple enhancement and maybe good as a marketing strategy.

Please get in touch with the design department and make your concrete suggestions to their mailing list here: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/ux-visual-designers/

Otherwise it's unlikely anything will happen. This bug is much too general. If you discuss this with the design department and can come up with a nice improvement dev team will be happy to look into that.

Also there was a big voting going on for the LO4 splash. I voted for another splash which I thought was more modern, but that screen didn#t win the race. But that's another story... :)
