Hi Iain,

you probably need to configure GTK with a high contrast theme. Since you don't run metacity window manager, you might also need to set an environment variable SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk" before running openoffice.

The experts on the gsl list might have to add some details ..

Hello,

I'm a visually impaired UNIX user attempting to use OpenOffice 2.1.0.
I know that OpenOffice attempts to detect when a system is
configured for high contrast mode, but in my case that doesn't
appear to work.

I'm using OpenBSD 4.1 with OpenMotif (mwm) as my window manager.
I have *background set to black in my ~/.Xdefaults and have
also tried 'xsetroot -bg black'. None of these seem to trigger
the high contrast mode.

What exactly does OpenOffice look for? Does it honor any X11
resources, or is it a matter of configuring GTK with a high
contrast theme. (If it's the latter, any pointers would be
appreciated.)

With great effort (several hours of work) I was able to get
to the Appearance tab of Tools->Options. I've managed to change
the document and application background to black, but I haven't
found how to change the UI elements.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks
