Graphics Output
Use hardware acceleration
Directly accesses hardware features of the computer graphical display adapter to improve the screen display. The support for display acceleration depends on the operating system and computer hardware.
Use Anti-Aliasing
Enable or disable anti-aliasing of graphics. With anti-aliasing enabled, the display of most graphical objects looks smoother and with less artifacts.
Use Skia for all rendering (on restart)
Use the high performance Skia graphics engine to render all visual elements of the application, including windows, menus, toolbars and icons. Skia uses the computer graphics device to accelerate the graphics rendering. The native system hardware acceleration is disabled when Skia is in use.
With Skia and hardware acceleration both unchecked, LibreOffice uses only the computer CPU for graphical display rendering and can be noticeably slower.
Force Skia software rendering (on restart)
Disables Skia's use of the computer graphics device. This still uses Skia software but with calls for raster framing, reduced and simplified graphics processing unit load.
During installation, LibreOffice chooses the best options for configuring the Skia graphics engine. Normally you do not need to change the default settings if Skia is enabled.
If you experience problems in graphical display with Skia enabled (for example, with the appearance of toolbar icons or drawing objects), then you can try to uncheck Force Skia software rendering or disable Skia entirely.
