With LibreOffice 5.0 just around the corner, I thought I should share this awesome tutorial with you to make LibreOffice look better and enhance your productivity!
LibreOffice’s killer looks is just one of the many features it sports. Today I’ll be showing you how to change the default look to enjoy the awesome themes it has!

At first, let’s take a look at the default theme:

Not bad! It looks fresh and modern, especially if you are coming from “another” productivity suit, this one is called Tango and it’s the default theme. Now the question is: How to change the theme?
Navigate to: Tools Options View and choose the theme you like from: User interface Icon size and style.

There is a total of six themes available (Tango included) and we are going to take a look at all of them! Then I’m going to say which is the best one!

LibreOffice 4.4.5 is out. LibreOffice 5.0 is around the corner

Hey fellas!
Thank god that craze was over, now let me return to what I really love, open source!

LibreOffice’s next milestone is just around the corner, it should be there on  Wednesday the 5th of August. but let’s talk about the latest version first!
LibreOffice 4.4.5 is the fifth minor release of the LibreOffice 4.4 family bringing 80 fixes over the previous version.
It’s also replacing 4.3.7 as the stable branch of development (means it’s stable)!
Feel free to download it from this link.

Now that we covered 4.4.5 let’s talk in detail about the much awaited 5.0 milestone.

Among the features it’s having a 64x version for Linux, Mac, And Windows alongside the 32x version.

Will you download it?
