Impress table design default has offered about 11 options. NONE of that has ---> 1) good appearance. 2) basic scheme of all cells white background, with black line colour 3) there is no provision to save user's favourite table scheme (as template) Most annoying is none of default schemes have black line. All have only white line. It becomes difficult when we print the presentation on back & white printer where colors are poorly printed (all in shades of grey). In such case if back line is not present, table is hardly recognizable. Expected behavior: 1) Should have decent looking default colour schemes (we can learn from MS Office, Powerpoint, in this regard) 2) There should be some easy provision to add user's choice / individualised favourite table scheme 3) Default Back Line in colour scheme is the must. Operating System: All Version: 4.1.4.2 release
LibO 4.2.0.3 on Win7 : My opinion : - "none ... good appearance" : matter of personnal taste... - "save user's favourite table scheme (as template)" : should be with a "table style" (same for layout : there should become a slide layout style) : major changes - for all the remaining, I agree with the reporter. No feature to personalize a table ???
I would agree with Dominique. Marked as enhancement request.
There's some though being put into this apparently, see this blog post: https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2015/12/13/style-your-tables/ It'll probably take quite some time before this would land in Impress, but it's exciting nevertheless! Keeping my fingers crossed.
The development version now allows editing table styles in Impress and Draw, thanks notably to Maxim Monastirsky's recent work. You can test it and let us know if you think the new feature and current set of default solves this issue: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html
Testing with: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5cd9de202765e243e41416802f3e4486b8a96f16 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I reply to OP's concerns: (In reply to pharmankur from comment #0) > Impress table design default has offered about 11 options. > NONE of that has ---> > 1) good appearance. Very subjective, but we have a new set now, and no response to comment 4. > 2) basic scheme of all cells white background, with black line colour Some of the styles now have black borders > 3) there is no provision to save user's favourite table scheme (as template) We can do that now > Most annoying is none of default schemes have black line.

See above For these reasons, closing as "works for me". If further refinements are needed, please open a new report. Thank you!
