In my computer I use white text on blue background. When I open
Help, the page contains a white rectangular box with white letters
which are unreadable. If I highlight the text, everything is black.
To read what is inside the rectangle I have to either change the
system's colors or to copy it and paste it a new document, where I
can change the color of the font and read it.
Has this bug been reported, and if not, how do I go about reporting it?
It goes without saying that they should have specified both
background and foreground color in the Help rectangles, or have not
specified a background color at all and have it stand out with a border.
How are you setting white-on-blue? If I select blue at Tools |
Options... | OpenOffice.org | Appearance | Custom colors | Document
background, the text colour automatically becomes white even with
"Font color" still set to Automatic. The only problem with the help
text is then that the links, being blue, disappear into the blue
background. You may be doing something slightly different, but these
suggestions may nevertheless help.
o Try using a different shade of blue, e.g. "Blue 4" for the
background - and then setting "Font color" to White.
o The help text display is controlled by the HTML Document display
settings. Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org Writer/Web |
Background, and choose a different background colour there - possibly
a different blue or just white. (This is the setting you have been
looking for, I think.)
o (Simplest of all) Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org |
Accessibility | Options for high contrast appearance, and put a tick
by "Use automatic font color for screen display". You will still see
white-on-blue in your documents, but the help text should be visible.
I trust this helps.
