Of course :). I found it interesting that Word 2010 has gone back to a (light) gray background after the more branded blue background in the 2007 version (compare [1] and [2]). I wonder if there was a usability reason behind this? It might be better to allow users to set a specific color for the background, but have a subtle branded option by default? In any case, a nice drop-shadow effect to surround the page as Hillar suggested would do a lot to modernise the appearance of LibO.
