Bug Description
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/
export GTK2_RC_
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.
The dark theme isn't going to be in the final version of intrepid due to numerous issues. This is also a duplicate bug so I am marking it as such.
Thanks,
Chris
