Script to put LibreOffice in Elementary style in ArchLinux

En ArtsDesktop posted a great article to customize LibreOffice style of Elementary OS in the distribution of the same name, based on another article posted on ElementaryUpdate.

After an extensive explanation, the author of the post in ArtsDesktop leave us a script to leave LibreOffice with this appearance:

LibreOffice_MOD

LibreOffice_MOD2

The Script in question is the following:

cd ~ && mkdir -p ~ / .config / libreoffice && cp -a ~ / .config / libreoffice ~ / .config / libreoffice_backup && rm -R ~ / .config / libreoffice && git clone https://github.com/rhoconlinux /Libreoffice-elementary-config.git && mv Libreoffice-elementary-config / libreoffice / ~ / .config && rm -Rf Libreoffice-elementary-config && sudo apt-get install libreoffice-style-crystal -y && cd ~ && wget - Or images_crystal.zip https://copy.com/dKyb4N6RBCoQ/images_crystal.zip?download=1 && sudo mv /usr/share/libreoffice/share/config/images_crystal.zip / usr / share / libreoffice / share / config / images_crystal_original .zip && sudo mv images_crystal.zip / usr / share / libreoffice / share / config /

But if you notice, he is thinking to eOS and the routes differ from those found in ArchLinux. Therefore, I leave the modified Script to obtain this appearance in our Arch:

cd ~ && mkdir -p ~ / .config / libreoffice && cp -a ~ / .config / libreoffice ~ / .config / libreoffice_backup && rm -R ~ / .config / libreoffice && git clone https://github.com/rhoconlinux /Libreoffice-elementary-config.git && mv Libreoffice-elementary-config / libreoffice / ~ / .config && rm -Rf Libreoffice-elementary-config && cd ~ && wget -O images_crystal.zip https://copy.com/dKyb4N6RBCoQ /images_crystal.zip?download=1 && sudo mv /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/images_crystal.zip /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/images_crystal_original.zip && sudo mv images_crystal.zip / usr / lib / libreoffice / share / config /
They must have the package installed to GIT.

If you want to reverse the process, you just have to delete the folder:

~/.config/libreoffice

And if what they want is to return to the configuration they had previously, they only have to rename the folder:

~/.config/libreoffice_backup

And they leave it like this:

~/.config/libreoffice

    Thanks, but you have to correct the title 😛

      Thanks .. I didn't realize .. Now I fix it. 😉

  2.   ianpocks said

    Thanks Elav, this comes as a surprise to me. As always, you and the entire team are innovating. desdelinux.;)

    1.    elav said

      You're welcome 😉

  3.   rhoconlinux said

    Hello boys! Thanks for the good vibes 🙂

    Just to clarify. The mod is in the first version and has a lot of work ahead of it. Some important things are:
    * You have to manually add the button to see the menu in Calc and Impress.
    * Some panel icons are missing for Impress.

    Again, thanks for the diffusion and let's go ahead. I am covered until next week but I hope to solve the pending things of the script when I finish what I have to do. 🙂

    1.    elav said

      Great news. Thanks for stopping by and leaving the clarification 😉

      I recently discovered your blog and I must say that there is something that seems unique and original to me (as well as a very good idea), and that is adding the "ninja install" in addition to the procedures detailed in your posts.

    I was thinking of making a PKGBUILD and uploading it to AUR: v

    1.    elav said

      Well, you just have to get in touch with rhoconlinux and work together on that. It would be an excellent idea 😉

    2.    Arkhan. said

      I think it's a good idea….

    3.    cookie said

      If you are going to do it, that set of flat icons is already in the AUR, you just have to put them as a dependency.

    Very interesting post. Excuse my ignorance but I am new to the linux world, I just installed Manjaro XFCE, does the script work the same way or should it also be modified?

    By the way, very good work with the blog, it has helped me a lot.

    1.    rube said

      I am the same as your intale manjaro and I hope it works the same, greetings.

    2.    cookie said

      Should of ... technically Manjaro is an Arch.

    3.    cat said

      It is supposed to… whoever doesn't try will always be left in doubt.

  6.   rhoconlinux said

    Insurance! after September 12 happy to help with what I can! ^ _ ^

  7.   pandev92 said

    I wonder if it can be used in kde ... and what would it look like XD

    1.    KZKG ^ Gaara said

      The elav screenshot is from KDE 😉

      1.    elav said

        Sately !! 😀

  8.   cookie said

    I just tried it and it looks great.
    I didn't know that Libreoffice was so customizable.

  9.   dragnell said

    In the event that the names of the sheets in calc are illegible as it happens to me, they have to:
    sudo scratch-text-editor /usr/share/themes/temaquesuseis/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and search
    GtkScrollbar :: slider-width = 6
    leave it at 10 or higher they should try according to the resolution they use. regards

  10.   kristianjgs said

    By the way from LibreOffice, is there a way to integrate the menu with KDE?

  11.   helena_ryuu said

    wooooow alicunante !!! I loved that script, excellent post Elav !!!

    1.    eliotime3000 said

      It's so minimalist that I can't get used to that makeover.

      1.    cookie said

        I like it better like this, since I use it for simple things, I have what I use the most in sight and I don't get lost among the options.
        The only thing is, I don't know how to get the menu bar in Impress.

        1.    helena_ryuu said

          and that you are right, another thing that I have noticed is that in calc the icon to show the menu and the button to close the document does not appear, but on top of that, the interface is magnificent that way ^^

      2.    helena_ryuu said

        I rather expected something like that 😀

  12.   Angel_Le_Blanc said

    Pretty good, I'd even like to share it with everyone I know, it hurts that they don't use Linux, much less Arch, than they get lost.

    1.    Carlos said

      I'm in the same. All my friends throw shit at LibreOffice and Linux

  13.   ChepeV said

    Very good how well LibreOffice looks like this, Thanks, already installed 😀

  14.   Juju said

    Elav, I loved your desk. Would it be possible for you to tell me the configurations to have a similar one? I also use Arch Linux

  15.   eliotime3000 said

    Awesome script. See if I can convert my KDE desktop to GNOME Classic.

  16.   eco-slacker said

    Much like the appearance of elementary from what I see ... as it is seen that the appearance of LibreOffice is the complaint of many, with this it is shown to me that a new appearance would make many of us who use this suite happy.

    Also, it's the first time I've seen a screenshot where LibreOffice looks good in KDE, I would have liked to see how the menus look.

    regards

    1.    elav said

      Well, I have updated the post and added a screenshot 😉

  17.   let's use linux said

    How nice! What is the icon theme you use in GNOME?

  18.   tarkin88 said

    I have been great, and it looks even better with the theme flatstudio or numix (original / blue) Thanks

  19.   Snow Lion said

    Excellent, I like it, thank you for sharing. 🙂

    Thank you very much for adapting the script. It looked great on my Arch.

    regards

  22.   Bryan DiazG. said

    Please make an adaptation for Kubuntu that looks very nice :)

  23.   José said

    Can the same script be applied for Fedora? Regards!

  24.   marianogaudix said

    I must admit that LibreOffice 4.1.1 looks better KDE than before.

    A Mexican friend sent me a photo with the Flat icons and it looks really good.

    In writer you can display the menu bar with F8 or by clicking on the icon on the right, but in draw, calc and impress, I can't find a way to display it.

    1.    hyla357 said

      I already found the solution and I share them:

      1) right click on the toolbar, "customize the toolbar"
      2) click on the «Add» button
      3) Navigate on the left to find the macro command, called «MenuToggle» located at: «Libreoffice Macros, My Macros, Standard, Module1»
      4) The icon can be changed from the «Modify» button.

      Optional: After adding the macro from the "Keyboard" tab within the menu to customize the toolbar, you can select the macro in question (MenuToggle) and assign a key to it. For consistency it would be F8.

        thank you very much! excellent explanation hyla357!

    IN kubuntu it has not worked for me !! LOL XD

  27.   Leper_Ivan said

    Well, this script is great. It leaves it beautiful to free office. In addition to that, personally, I see greater speed when opening and closing the application.
