Screenshot of the new splash screen at work

In LibO 3.6.0 beta 3, new background images for about box and splash screen
have been introduced. Thank you very much for the new clean look!

However, on MacOS X (at least on MacOS X 10.6.8) there is a visual glitch in
the new splash screen: the progress bar does not fit into the visible progress
bar frame which is a part of the new splash screen background image. See the
attached screenshot which explains this best.

This is a minor issue, I known, but nevertheless it makes the new splash screen
look worse (instead of better) than the old one and gives LibreOffice a "not
really professional" looking on MacOS X.

IMHO this is a consequence of commit
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-3-6&id=08b4d85e6e04b1ca4ec7f9ea623d795af4a044d4
; Stefan Knorr (astron) explains in his notes to this comment:

  * The visible progress bar frame is now in the image itself
  which has two advantages
  - it is always there (otherwise the splash could come up
  without any progress bar frame at all,
  and then would appear a second later)
  - you can have arbitrary distances between the bar frame and the bar"

But this change has the disadvantage to cause the visual glitch on MacOS X. To
make the splash screen look better, please either adjust position and length of
the progress bar, or remove the "visible progress bar frame" again from the
background image.
