To permanently disable the LibreOffice splash screen across all components, modify the global configuration file. This method applies to Windows, Linux, and macOS systems.
Method: Disable via Global Configuration
Locate LibreOffice's bootstraprc file, which controls core initialization settings:
- Windows:
Program FilesLibreOfficeprogrambootstraprc - Linux/macOS:
/opt/libreoffice/program/bootstraprc(installation path may vary)
Add the following line to the file:
Logo=1
If the file already contains a Logo entry, change its value to 1. Save the file. This change requires administrator/sudo privileges.
Verify Configuration
Confirm the setting is active by checking LibreOffice's internal registry:
- Launch LibreOffice Base
- Navigate to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced
- Open configuration settings via the "Open Expert Configuration" button
- Search for
Logo. The value should display1
Important Notes
User-level settings (via UI or local profile) may override this configuration. The global file edit ensures persistent suppression regardless of user profiles or desktop environments.
For all installed LibreOffice versions, the splash screen will no longer appear during application startup.
