On my laptop (not a state-of the-art technology) it takes exactly 5 seconds to "cold boot" LibreOffice Writer for the first time (loading it after that takes only 1 second). On the other hand, it's not uncommon for Mozilla Firefox to take more than that to load. So should we add a splash screen to Firefox, too? I know something is going on because my cursor icon has changed to the "loading" one, I don't need a splash, too (which is "always on top", not themed according to the rest of Ubuntu.
Evince sometimes takes 10-15 seconds to load a document. It shows a little "loading" notification in the corner; Firefox has its own "loading" icons. So I'm proposing several other solutions (if just removing the splash is unacceptable): 1) open blank LibreOffice window immediately, and show some "loading" notification inside 2) show a NotifyOSD notification "Loading LibreOffice Writer/Calc/Draw" instead of the splash screen 3) automatically enable the "Quickstarter" on startup, preferably without the systray icon (and then remove the splash) 4) add a "don't use splash screen option in LibreOffice preferences 5) tell me how to remove it on my own so I can post it to ubuntuforums.org, omgubuntu.co.uk etc., so that everyone else can remove it, too -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711035 Title: Splash screens for applications inconsistent with Ubuntu Desktop -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
