LibreOffice 25.2 Has Arrived » Linux Magazine
The LibreOffice 25.2 is now available with some new features UI customization and security.
One of the biggest changes in LibreOffice 25.2 is the addition of a theming engine. This new feature allows users to customize the color of nearly every aspect of the application. Anyone will now be able to spend minutes or hours tweaking the UI’s theme.
For those who don't like to spend their time customizing UI elements, new pre-built themes are available for download. At the moment, there aren't many themes from which to choose, but I would imagine that number will grow fairly quickly.
Along with ability to get fairly granular with UI theming, there's another important feature that's all about security. Version 25.2 introduces the ability for the user to customize what type of information is saved in a document. The new feature ensures that documents won't save data like personal information, comments and tracked changes, printer names/configurations, and even editing times.
