Hi to all OpenOffice.org lovers!!!
-----------------------------------
Congratulations to OO.o team --- 2.0.4 is out!!!
Let's colorize OO.o splashes!!!
These files let your OO.o programs have it's own splash screen.
Contents
---------
# intro-*.bmp -- spash screens
# ooo-wrapper -- modified original ooo-wrapper script
# README -- what you're reading
Installation
-------------
!!! Beware: this thing was tested ONLY on my Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake)
Installing this software
requires changing original ooo-wrapper script
and setting write permissions to program folder
!!! USE IT ON YOUR OWN RISK
1. Locate your OO.o program folder, e.g. '/usr/lib/openoffice/program'
and copy splashes into it
# mv /usr/lib/openoffice/program/intro.bmp /usr/lib/openoffice/program/intro.bmp.orig
# cp intro-*.bmp /usr/lib/openoffice/program/
2. Locate your ooo-wrapper script, e.g. '/usr/bin/ooo-wrapper'
and replace it
# mv /usr/bin/ooo-wrapper /usr/bin/ooo-wrapper.bak
# cp ooo-wrapper /usr/bin
3. Change write permissions of OO.o program folder, so user can
make symlinks in it
# sudo chmod o+w /usr/lib/openoffice/program/
That's all. It's simple. Enjoy.

There's no splash screen for ooo-draw though :(
I couldn't use the ooo-wrapper script for some reason so I just wrote a simple script:
#!/bin/bash
prog=$1
ln -fs /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/intro$prog.bmp /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/intro.bmp;
soffice $prog;
and that seems to do the trick.
Thanks for some nice splash screens.
