Collabora Office suite gets a new layout for Android tablets and Chromebooks

Collabora Office is a popular open-source alternative to the Microsoft Office suite. It’s based on Libre Office, and it’s available on a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. This year in July, a major update for the office suite brought support for Chrome OS devices. Now, the team behind Collabora Office is rolling out another significant update that introduces a new layout for Android tablets and Chromebooks.

As per a recent press release shared by the team, Collabora Office 6.4 is now rolling out to users. The update brings a new user interface for Android tablets and Chromebooks, which includes a new NotebookBar for Android tablets and iPads, a user-friendly tab layout, and improvements to loading speed for large documents.

Additionally, the update brings interoperability improvements for Microsoft documents on mobile devices and Chromebooks, including support for gradient backgrounds in slides, semitransparent text, and better SmartArt support. On top of all that, the update also brings Dark Mode support on Android, which switches some of the UI elements and backgrounds to a darker theme.
