so ugly and outdated

In Windows and macOS, LibreOffice has ability to notif user when a updated version available.

In Windows, this icon will show a baloon message, In my opinion, this message does not follow modern UI. I suggest to change the appearance. Here some of suggestions:

1. Keep the message in current position but update the message to use more modern appereance like add a blurred shadow instead of strong border line
2. Move the message to right bottom position of the desktop and follow operating system's notification scheme. This will definitely blend LibreOffice with Windows which is one of casual UX approach. 

For the second option there is chance to add a button whether we can move the update dialog button there or we can add a <More Information> button so update dialog appears.

Also maybe not use a Text-Speech bubble. Have never seen this on macOS, but maybe I am too impatient with new releases.
new, enhancement

Yes, it's exactly my second suggestion

On Windows, the tooltip should be implemented like this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/implement-balloon-tooltips
(Note that these balloons are an expected pattern inside Windows apps — even newer ones, where they’re called “teaching tips” instead)
