Looked at some other distro's:

Mageia beta: green
Natty: red
Lucid: red (via ppa)
openSUSE: has it's own splash screen and loading bar



Just thought I'd mention it.

Green is the theme colour, ain't it.
So I'd like it to be green always.

I was wandering why when loading LibreOffice on Windows one gets a

Bert.

What do you mean by this statement?
I use Ubuntu Linux and do not remember seeing a red loading bar,
whatever you consider a loading bar is.

Is it a bar shown in the splash screen while loading the package?
Is it something to do with loading documents or installing extensions?
I do not know where this bar comes into play.




Ah, but Linux is much about choice. Since Ubuntu has a strong liking for
purple and orange the red-orange colour (as it appears on my screen)
contrasts very nicely with the LO green. I'm just glad the position of
the LO splash screen progress bar got repositioned from where it was as
given in Ubuntu's PPA for pre-11.04 releases.

Hopefully the folks at LO are pleased that users are looking at every
tiny feature in their great product but I don't think it worth the
programming effort to provide user choices for the colour of the LO
splash screen progress bar.

Whatever the colour I'm just happy that's its LO that's loading as
provided by default in Ubuntu 11.04 - and hopefully by many other Linux
distros.

The word is that most of the distros have dumped OOo in favor of LibreOffice as their default office suite. I still see listing for GNOME and KDE office suites, but I wonder how long they will last in the repositories. That dumping of OOo may be one of the reasons that Oracle is dumping their OOo product line development and support.

Ubuntu 10.04LTS 64-bit
     running the
64-bit "LibreOffice LibreOffice 3.3.2 -- OOO330m19 (Build:202) -- tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2"
     installed from the LibreOffice download page [not repository]
shows a GREEN bar.
