openoffice force default theme / no theme | dark theme fix
I've never posted in this particular forum before, but I think this is where this post goes.
So, recently I noticed that openoffice, including go-oo, will try to use your gtk theme no matter what, and it will often result in a crappy looking interface (especially with dark themes). The problem is documented here: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=80636 http://img479.imageshack.us/i/screenshotkb8.png/ Using a dark theme erases colors and messes up backgrounds ... wonderful. Although there is no way to force openoffice to use the default theme using the openoffice options, you can make a wrapper script like this: Code:
GTK2_RC_FILES="" soffice "$1" I don't know of any way to make it use a dark theme properly in all parts of openoffice. If you know, do post it. Note that this also works for firefox, but firefox has no problems with dark themes, luckily. |
Glad to see you fixed it!
I'm going to post to remove this from the "No replies" thread. |
