Created attachment 115685 [details] White icons in menus Dear all, I have installed the following packages on my eOS (based on Ubuntu 14.04) to provide a better integration of LO: libreoffice-gtk install libreoffice-gtk3 install libreoffice-style-galaxy install libreoffice-style-human install libreoffice-style-sifr install I noticed that the provided theme is using white icons in the menus that are very difficult to see. Please see the attached screenshot. Is this a bug or intended? Thankfully, Robert
That is GTK+ 2.
If you want to test the experimental GTK+ 3 backend, enable experimental features in Options and start LibreOffice with the environmental variable SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3
Hi Adolfo, You are right. The white icons are related to the GTK2 backend. Is it intended to have these white icons? I temporarily tested the GTK3 backend but it feels very experimental. I switched back to GTK2.
No, of course it’s not intended. The theme you’re using is based on Andrea Cimitan’s Murrine engine for GTK+ 2, the same as Ubuntu’s Ambiance/Radiance. This bug doesn’t happen in any other Murrine theme I’ve used, but in elementary’s; therefore I’d say the bug should be fixed by them, but then again Daniel Foré states that any software which uses GTK+ 2 is “bad”, so he won’t fix his theme.
Thanks for your clear comment Adolfo. Truly appreciated! I won't invest any more time on this and just accept the icons as they are.
Robert: just for the record, the GTK+ 3 compatibility has been improved a lot for LibreOffice 5.0, so you might want to give it a spin once it comes out :)
That's exciting! I will test LO5 with regard to this bug once it's out and report back. Thanks! :)
Just for the record: The integration of LO5 into GTK environments has improved a lot. Also, thanks to the new iconset libreoffice-style-breeze. Source: http://www.webupd8.org/2015/08/install-libreoffice-50-in-ubuntu-or.html
