Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
If you choose to have a dark theme in Ubuntu or XUbuntu, then OpenOffice
looks very confusing and ugly (no icons, black color for the paper in
Writer is not good either etc etc).
A possible fix could be to force OpenOffice to use another lighter theme, or
give OpenOffice a proper dark icon-pack (or something like it) and force it to
use a white background for papers. I appended the following line to the file
"/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice" to force it to use a light theme:
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
Shouldnt stuff like this be default for Ubuntu, so new users dont think they
messed up their OpenOffice for good? Or that they feel forced to use a light
theme, because else OpenOffice will look like hell / be unuseable (I cant find
anything in OpenOffice with a dark theme).
I am using XUbuntu 8.04 with all upgraded packages until today (22/07/2008) on
i386.
