Martin,

I sympathize with you. I hate it when some website selects gray on gray or white on gray. It is an assault on the user. I am running AOO 4.1.12 under Xfce4 under Slackware Linux 14.2 (k4.4.x). I am not having a problem reading the AOO dialogs and my eyes are not young.

I am not sure the Aoo window's font is all that under AOO's control. I believe AOO picks up whatever the system or desktop is defining, using its styles. You may want to look into your desktop's window font/color settings. That said, one area I would suggest to look at, under Tools > Options > View, there are some styles and font options to look into. Especially, the "Use system font for user interface" option. Mine is checked.

Since none of my checks seem to change the window font/color, I strongly suspect as I have said, that this is under the control of the desktop. Xfce4 in my case, KDE, or whatever your system is using. Most likely, you need to look there.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I try to attach an image, because it's otherwise difficult to describe. You see in that image that the GUI font is grey instead of black, and on a grey background, it is hard to read. This goes across the entire OpenOffice, and only there, no other app has this kind of appearance. Hence I believe it's something in OO which I should be able to adjust, I just do not know where to do that.

I'm using Manjaro Linux, which I keep up to date. OO-version is 4.1.14, but the problem exists since I returned to OO.

I hope that somebody can help me with this.

Thanks!

Martin
