Hi Tom
Thank you, yes I thought I would add that background in the tool-bar, just to show what can be done to personalise the office suite. And funny enough I have only just discovered and used it, helping someone else posting a day or two ago asking for help why he could not get it to work.
Having been in IT some 36 years, and my own business for the last two, as well as a beta tester for MS, I've learnt how to be aware and work around, personally in my mind, nonsence copyright. It has it's place but today we have become greedy, cynical, childish, and immature in the application of patent and copyright today. Thank goodness we have Linux, my primary O/S being Ubuntu, having used many other very good distros over the years (must support my countryman). And what I love now is that for all of MS and others saying that Linux would NEVER be of any value or compete, it is now a dominant player, running on mobiles and many other everyday devices etc and has knocked MS off it's high and mighty pedestal. As Mark Shuttleworth has iterated recently Linux bug no. 1 has been fixed, that is MS no longer dominates the O/S world.

Hi :)
Superb, thanks :)
I like the way they show off the personalised tool-bar backgrounds as that seems to be a very popular feature. Also thanks for dealing with the potential copyright issues as far as is possible. I think that is less of a worry for marketing materials than it is for printed guides but it's still nice to avoid the issue so neatly. Thanks! 

Regards from
Tom :)

    [libreoffice-users] Need a screenshot... LO 4.1.0 on WIn7

    Hi Charles

    As per request via Tom here are six screenshots of all of the Apps
    in LibreOffice, running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. My
    screenshots show two versions running side by side, LibreOffice
    4.0.4.2 (stable release) and 4.1.0.3 (RC3).

    I have prepared the screenshots in such a way as to not violate
    any copyright issues with Microsoft, so I have excluded any
    background to validate that the apps are indeed running on Windows
    7, if this is alright. The attached zip is only 1MB in size but
    the screenshots, although compressed a little and saved in .jpg,
    are at full screen size, mine currently at 1920x1080.

    Regards

    Hi :)
    Thanks :)  Could you send as attachments in a private email to

    Charles-H. Schulz <hidden>

    preferably CC me at the same time?  Don't worry too much about
    CCing me but it's always nice to know what is going on! :)  Jpg
    sounds fine and the size sounds really good! :)
    Thanks and regards from
    Tom :)

        Hi Tom

        I have taken five screenshots of all of the LO apps, Base,
        Calc, Draw,
        Impress, Math and Writer, side by side two versions, 4.0.4.2
        with
        4.1.0.3 showing the differences on the default start-up
        screens. I'm
        just waiting for a confirmation of registration from Nabble
        as I have
        just signed up.

        I will post all five screenshots (.jpg, not .png, allowing
        all five of
        them to be only 1.45MB in total size) on Nabble and then
        email the link.

        Regards

        Andrew Brown

        Gnu&Linux systems which all seem to be a lot more
        sophisticated than the old Windows way.  There are several
        apps to choose from in Gnu&Linux.  The Docs Team experimented
        with a few before deciding on which one to recommend to their
        new members.  I'm not sure if Imgur has a time-delay setting
        and all that sort of thing. It might do.

        screen-shot of 3.6.x or 4.0.x on Win7 is probably fine with
        the Marketing Team.
