I have OO 2 running under Win 2000 Pro SP 4.
My system colors use yellow type on a dark green background.
If I use OO to open, say, a .doc file I receive as an
attachment, and if it is coded with black as the font color,
OO gives me black type on my dark background.
If I change the font color to yellow for
viewing, I need to change it back to print.
Some programs can distinguish between colors
in the document that are meant for printing
and colors the user prefers for screen display
(WordPerfect does this. Eudora _used to_ do it.)
If there is a way to set OO Writer to display background
_and_ font
in the user's color scheme and print in whichever colors
the document calls for, I haven't found it.
Ummm.

I just set the document background to Black and all the others
changed to automatic. Now I have what I always wanted,
again, white text on a black background. Much easier on my
eyes. Have to try it a while to make sure everything is
showing.
Changing now to my old Turbopascal favorite:
yellow text on black, leaving all the others on autmatic.
Except for the Application Background which is still set to
turquoise.

The ability to do this would be the greatest single
improvement to OO Writer that I can think of.

I think the issue is that the software does NOT allow the user to set
ONE colour scheme for viewing and ANOTHER for printing.
BTW, I always thought white on black would be easier on the eyes but I
find it too hard to read. I use navy (rgb 0,0,128) on a cream (rgb
255,250,232).
