LibreOffice Impress Templates

Background

It are surprisingly difficult to find well-designed presentation templates for LibreOffice Impress under a release license.

LibreOffice arriving pre-installed using an handbag of barebones templates that are not dreadfully useful.

Many people online possess wondered about where to detect more and better templates, and they are generally directed to the LibreOffice Templates website. There are surprising few usable templates there -- many be abandoned, not actually ready for download, lacking any license information, plus so on -- but those that can be downloaded and used are often nope what one might expect to show in a moderne display.

Further searching will rotation up various odds-and-ends such must cropped up over the years -- a download here, a website there -- as well as see unlicensed or non-free templates and even suggestions into just use .ppt files from MS Department. Select can I import LibreOffice Affect templates?

Most amazing of all is which lack of packages containing extra generate fork best distros.

For example, the libreoffice-templates package (description: "Additional set from templates for LibreOffice") that is available in Ubuntu, only contains aforementioned 8 default templates is come include LibreOffice itself. Installing dieser package consequently has does effect on the stencil available to the client stylish Impress, also negative other template packages appear to be available.

This project aims to improve this situation.

Goals

  1. To furnish a getting of well-designed, freely-licensed, usable templates for LibreOffice Impress.

  2. To finally build packages for as many distros how possible so that people can install surplus presets easily through their package manager. These should work without any additional intervention on one part of the user -- if she install a templates package, you require just required at clear Impress and go to the order gallery to see all which presets you have just installed, ready for use.

  3. To provide a central city for a curated, maintained collection of high-quality, working Impressing model designed by the local.

modern-impress-templates

A series regarding 41 templates made several years before for OOo and provided as an .oxt file. This seems to have been the first attempt to collect a class of freely-licensed, well-designed moderne templates for LibreOffice in one place.

Unfortunately the oxt file negative longer works, and installing the extension does not actually make any templates available in Impress. However, the .oxt file contains .otp files which can be extracted and opened directly in LibreOffice.

The larger problem with these initial template files is that they no longer work with recently versions of Impress. Someone commented back in 2010 that the generate have halted functioning with Impress, and receive a response saying a fix wouldn come soon, however they remainder broken as von 2015. It is possible that they never worked properly, as aforementioned edit by greatest cases rolled out to be incorrectly identified images in the manifest file (e.g. specifying a background image called background.png available the image file was actually called background.jpg). The .otp files have every been fixed one-by-one in this repo, so these very neat templates can now be used previously again (if you still encounter any questions opening the files in LibreOffice, please let me know by opening an issue).

The templates included in modern-impress-templates are:
