Problem description: libreoffice uses the "button text" color for the menubar text, while using the "window background" color for the menubar background. If you use a theme where the "button text" and the "window background" colors are the same, the menu text is not readable anymore. Notice that if you remove the kde integration and install the gtk integration along with the oxygen-gtk theme, the menubar text uses the right color. Steps to reproduce: 1. open kde systemsettings and go into the application appearence -> colors module 2. set the same color for "window background" and "button text" 3. open any openoffice app and try to read the menu Current behavior: the menubar text is not readable Expected behavior: the menubar text should be readable as in gtk integration Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0
I can confirm with Libo 3.6.2 and kde 4.9.x, but wondering: with those settings, except the menu that are still visible in KDE apps while are not in LiBo, is KDE still usable? In the attached screenshot you can see i.e. kcalc, but all dialogs have buttons almost unreadable. In any case you are raising a difference among LiBo and KDE that probably should be investigated and solved (I remember an old bug about almost unreadable tooltips due to something like that)

hi, in your screenshot the "button background" has also been set to the same color of "button text" and "window background". This way you get an unusable color scheme, but for the bug to be reproducible it is not required to set same color also for "button background". As an example of a usable color scheme where the bug occours, please see the attached screenshot.
