Needs advice from UX, I guess => Not an EasyHack for now. @Christoph: Could you have a look or delegate as appropriate? (In reply to comment #3) > Needs advice from UX, I guess => Not an EasyHack for now. > @Christoph: Could you have a look or delegate as appropriate? Well, the background is determined by the operating system, so Windows sets something different (dark gray) than Gnome (light gray). So, currently the platform (e.g. Linux distribution) is responsible for that. Nevertheless, a discussion concerning visual improvements started some time ago: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/DocumentBackground Alternative: An additional appearance (color) setting might be delivered with LibreOffice - loading / saving settings is available. That would be an EasyHack, or? [This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html in Tools->Options Libreoffice->Appearance we can change these settings. And create own themes. By default there only one theme "LibreOffice". Users can create their own themes. For example "High contrast". Alas, there is no functionality to save theme to file and load from file. Is there any progress on this? I looked at the link provided by Christoph has a last edited date of 2011-07-13, at 12:17:12. I think the idea sounds fantastic, just trying to figure out if it's being implemented or if it's been abandoned. If it's been abandoned can another dev pick it up and try to finish it? Not sure how much progress was made on it but the images look great. Marking as NEEDINFO, once one of the devs check it out we can mark it appropriately and hopefully have an update of the status for the new look. Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem.

Yours! Florian This should not have been marked as needinfo in the first place. There was no outstanding question for the bug reporter to answer. Needs confirmed by QA - moving to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks So, this can be solved using own setting for Application Background in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Appearance, choose a color in the drop down list. I didn't check in the Advanced configuration options, but I guess it should be there too. This also can be solved by using another desktop theme. I'm closing this request, there is all the needs to customize defaults already. Sophie |
