Hi Astron,

thank you for the suggestion! I tried it -- just changing
LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/sofficerc really does the job. Amazing!

(1) If I change
  NativeProgress=true
to
  NativeProgress=false
, as you suggested, everything seems to work well: the splash screen shows the
custom progress bar, and it looks fine, just like on Linux.

(2) Alternatively, I tried to leave
  NativeProgress=true
, but to change the ProgressPosition and ProgressSize entries instead, from
  ProgressPosition=61,317
  ProgressSize=407,6
to
  ProgressPosition=59,318
  ProgressSize=414,6
This works equally well; in this way, I get a beautiful native progress bar
which completely covers the "visible progress bar frame" and works well.
See the attached screenshot!

Which one of these two possibilities we should use, is difficult to decide.
IMHO the 2nd alternative has the advantage to use the native progress bar,
which is familiar to Mac users, and to look a bit more impressive (the progress
bar's vivid blue harmonizes quite well with our new green splash screen); but
it may have the little disadvantage that every future change to the splash
screen background graphics also requires to change the ProgressPosition and
ProgressSize values again. And as I wrote above, IMHO it is OK to use a
non-native progress bar especially in the splash screen.

Well, you, Astron, are the UI expert, and you, Thorsten, are the developer, so
it's up to you to decide ;-) I can just confirm that both alternatives work
well.
