Description: When starting prestentation, the Presentation display flashes with a bright color (it is the window background color defined in the gtk theme). Using a dark gtk theme, it flashes with a dark color. The duration is longer, if the first slide is more complex (big picture for example). It looks little nonprofessional. Tested with Manjaro (Xfce), openSUSE Leap (KDE), Fedora (Gnome): always the same. I've made a workaround for this. It works good with disabled Presenter Console (there is another Bug). May be there are side effects for other gtk applications. create a new file: ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css /* avoid bright flickering when starting presentation with LibreOffice Impress */ window.background.fullscreen { background-color: #000000; } Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use bright desktop theme (specialy for gtk) 2. Create new Impress presentation with a big picture on the first slide (>4MP) 3. start presentation (F5) Actual Results: Screen flashes white, then black and then it shows the slide. Expected Results: Screen shows the slide (without flickering / flashing) when start presentation. Custom color (Options -> Application Colors) would be great. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 6.1.3.2 Build ID: 6.1.3-2 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: de-DE (de_DE.utf8); Calc: group threaded
Created attachment 147627 [details] workaround. save here: ~/.config/gtk-3.0/
Side effect of the workaround, if presenter console enabled: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122176
Hello gtxe, Could you please the current theme you're using? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the information has been provided
Used Themes: Manjaro Xfce: Vertex-Maia-Light (default) Manjaro KDE: KDE-/GTK2-/GTK3-Theme: Breath (default) openSUSE: I don't remember (I installed it just for testing). But it was the default theme. The second screen is a projector and I changed the wallpaper to solid black color, because I want that nothing should be visible, when no presentation active.
By the way, I noticed it is possible to change the VCL (Visual Class Library). https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/78965/menu-appearance-is-hard-on-the-eyes/ kde5 VCL crashes with Kubuntu, when starting the presentation. When kde4 VCL used, there is no flickering at presentation start! Additionally I had to disable presenter console for smooth slide transitions (doesn't matter which VCL).
KDE5 is under ongoing development. Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ? You can install it alongside the standard version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build
Tried three different versions, from PPA, "fresh" build, and master build (see below). All are crashing. Steps to reproduce: - force kde5 VCL if not automatically used: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde5 libreoffice(6.2/dev6.3) --impress - start with any or empty presentation - Disable presenter console - Menu "Slide Show" -> "Presentation display" select "All displays" - start presentation Why did I try: Presentation did not start at second screen, independent from preset. But presentation over all displays is not realy what I want/need. more problems: ppa-version: - some slide-effect don't work (fading) - no kde4 VCL master-build: - no kde4 VCL the main bug with gtk3 VCL (see start topic) is still there, in all versions. At the moment the fresh-build with kde4 VCL works the best for me: no crashing, slide effect are all working, no flickering. https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Version: 6.2.3.2 Build ID: 1:6.2.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1~lo1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.18; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ Version: 6.2.3.2 Build ID: aecc05fe267cc68dde00352a451aa867b3b546ac CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.18; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 98630a0bd49bd80652145a21e4e0d0ded792b36b CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.18; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2019-05-04_04:44:35 Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded

Testet with Debian-Based KDE Distro and with fresh LibreOffice 6.4.4.2: still flashes white when presentation started. If you have a fast computer and composing effects enabled in KDE, perhaps you will not notice it. Insert hires photo in first slide, then you will.
