Make LibreOffice Looks Better
Sexy look and feel is one requirement to love the products which you are using. Even though LibreOffice is a good alternative for Microsoft Office, I wasn’t satisfy with the default look and feel of LibreOffice. Here, I am sharing the tweaks I made to fall in deep relationship with LibreOffice. I have shared the original links to give the credential to original authors.
