What is the function of the Pre-installed Persona (if available) option used for? It seems to remove the persona info and give me the same results as the Plain Look option. I know that, at this time, the footer image is not used, but it was part of the persona setting. So it would be a real nice feature if you has an option to do all these image and font color changes withing a LO dialog instead of manually editing a xcu file in a text editor.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unable to change url for persona settings
Peter, looks good. That is essentially what I wound up doing in experimenting with it. I have not tried creating my own personas as I'm artistically dysfunctional, in otherwards I am not very creative artistically. For now, when I want to change my persona I just first change my firefox/thunderbid personas. I'll copy the URL and then I go to LO 4.0 change it there and copy the value from the PersonaSettings line in registrymodifications.xcu as well as the jpg files in the .config/libreoffice/4/user/gallery/persona folder over to my system running Fedora 19/LO 4.1.

I am documenting it in case it may be of interest to any of you. Does it need to be reported as a bug? Is it just a Linux problem? My environment is UBUNTU 12.04 (x2) and LINUX-MINT MATE 13. I am running LibO 3.6.4.3, 4.0.4.2 and now 4.1.0.4. LibO 4.0 and 4.1 run from Applications/Office Panels and share the same .config files, LibO 3.6 uses hand made panel. Only one version is run at a time. All three systems run home made personas on Firefox, Thunderbird and LibO 4.0 and 4.1 1. LibO 4.0 supported the INSTALLATION and DISPLAY of Personas but no control over the TEXT or ACCENT colours. 2 LibO 4.1 RC4 supports the DISPLAY of Personas, TEXT colours but not the INSTALLATION of Personas nor ACCENT colours. 3. Because the .config files for 4.0 and 4.1 were so different in size, I decided to recreate the files for 4.1 and then manually add the /Gallery/Personas folder and modify registrymodifications.xcu file to restore the settings from 4.0. 4. I now run 4.0 and 4.1 from the same .config files and use the same personas. 5. By using a standard name for the personas I wish to use, I no longer need to modify the registrymodifications.xcu file. 6. I use GIMP to create a new Personas, FIREFOX PERSONAS PLUS to test the new Personas without the need to upload the personas to the firefox website.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Unable to change url for persona settings
So I took it a step further and manually added the persona sub-dir under the gallery sub-dir along with the jpg files within the folder. I then manually edited the registrymodifications.xcu file (xml file type) and just copied text within value/value in PersonaSettings line from the working file to the broken 4.1.?.? version of the file. I'm not sure what other changes there are between the 2 so I just edited the broken one. I am still not able to change from the dialog. It still will not allow the editing of the url within the box. -- Sent from my home PC running Fedora18 to you and NSA, FBI, CIA, HSA and God only knows who else -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
