<pre>It's strange, this enhancement request hasn't been solved yet, after 8+ years!
I have LibreOfice 7.0.5.2. The home screen of LibreOffice (called "Start
Center"?) seems fine.
***Let's just talk about Recent Documents.***
The Recent Documents doesn't seems satisfying to me. I read various
suggestions. My suggestion is to show only spreadsheet files in Calc's Recent
Documents list, and show only document files in Writer's Recent Documents list.
Here one may argue that people love to have option to open all kinds of
recently opened files from single point - Recent Documents - from all/any
LibreOffice module. Then, to let users' choose, an option should be provided in
LibreOffice settings if they want to view all types of files in all modules or
only files of only the particular module they are in.
For the users supporting my suggestion (and optionally with an option in
LibreOffice Settings - as mentioned above) - if a user is presently using
Writer and he wants to open recent spreadsheet then he can create a new
spreadsheet and open the recent spreadsheet from it's Recent Documents list.
Only one step is increased, but seems more convenient.
(One more optional suggestion is to rename the "Recent Documents" to "Recent
Files" for obvious reason - not all files are documents.)</pre>
