Bug ID: 118643
Summary: Impress Hourglass Icon Distracting During Presentation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.7.2 release
Hardware: Other
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: stevewh...@gwi.net
Description:
I realize that I'm not the first to dislike the hourglass that signals pending
change during a presentation. Perhaps I can ask about this in a more useful
manner.
Often when running a slideshow, images do not fill the screen completely. Many
presenters prefer to operate with a black background. The result is that the
hourglass icon appears briefly before every change.
Remaining Reptilian Brain Bits (RRBB) instantly interrupt human attention and
divert focus to the icon. Which goes away. For awhile.
It seems to me the Very Best Solution (VBS) would be a toggle added to options
that would select between two icons: the current one, and a transparent
version.
I don't know a thing about your code, but would guess this would actually be
quite simple.
Thank you,
Steve
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create Impress presentation with black backgrounds for slides.
2.Add some slides that do not fill the ultimate display's screen.
3.You will see the hourglass icon display for every action.
Actual Results:
Hourglass icon is distracting.
Expected Results:
Hourglass will be distracting.
See below:
DISPLAY no icon,
ELSE, allow me to remove it,
ELSE, allow me to make it transparent.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I do not suspect the matter is related to Profile or OpenGL.
It would be interesting to know why this distraction is even there.
Thank you
