Re: [libreoffice-users] Personas
Hi Jean-Francois, You are a champion. After making a couple more changes and taking note of your note about the path (I keep forgetting Linux case sensitivity) IT WORKED!!! :) A bit more below.

I think it was probably one of your previous posts that put me onto the light_ambience.png It is so much nicer than the LO "battleship grey/gray" of the standard header background.

Not sure I fully understand what the above line means, but: * I tried immediately opening a new document. No persona. * I went back into Expert Configuration and my previous settings were gone. * I again edited the settings and tried closing and restarting LO. No persona. * Next, I went back into Expert Configuration and again edited the settings, OK'd out of Expert Configuration and immediately when back in again to find that my settings had already been lost. > > To get to these grips, I read a blog article that I'm totally unable > to find right now.

Maybe something has changed between your 5.4.6.2 and my 6.1.1.2 which cases LO to ignore or drop Expert Configuration changes. Guess I will just have to learn to love LO's boring "battleship grey" colors. However, I thank you again for taking the time to try and help.

Hi Folks, Firefox Personas (renamed Themes) no longer work in LO and there is a proposal [1] to deprecate or replace them.

I have copied the images into the equivalent Linux directory and edited the advanced configuration file, but I cannot get LO under Linux to show either of the personas.
