Still better would be to integrate this change into the shared
configuration. You can install your special Common.xcu using
'/program/unopkg add --shared Common.xcu' and the contained
settings will be available to all users. You may also try including this
directly into the installation package, so it is installed under
/share/registry. In either case the settings apply to all users
automatically.

Before you do any of this, you should clean up the file, and remove the
settings that are outside of the FontSubstitution tag.

How to hack openoffice2.0 about dialog and splash.

Openoffice2.0 about dialog image can be changed by changing the file "ooo_SRC680_m100_src/default_images/svx/res/openabout.png", this is the default image used by OO2.0 for about dialog.
The string message of the about dialog is taken from the file "ooo_SRC680_m100_src/svx/source/intro/localize.sdf"
So, the strings can be changed by changing the merged string of the particular language.

Splash can be changed by changing the bmp file "ooo_SRC680_m100_src/instsetoo_native/unxlngi6.pro/bin/intro.bmp".

Enjoy hacking..

Not again..

It was a ruthless bouncer and as usual got passed my head. Yet again i was looking helpless. I don't know what they are looking for and i suspect whether they themselves try it or not in a real scenario.
I agree i am dumb but what about those bunch of people. We are nothing but a bunch of jokers trying to read some experienced mind.
It is there to test abilities or test their own abilities. I don't know...
But today i am not frustated because it's their turn to think about the credibility of their testing technique and dig their brain.
