Created attachment 118058 [details] BulletPreview Ubuntu 15.04 x64 LibreOffice 5.0.0.5 Best I can do here is show the picture - when I do the drop down for bullets the preview for the bullet options are missing the related icons making the previous a bit useless.
I see normal bullet previews under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 5.0.0.4 and a recent 5.1.0.0 alpha daily build maybe a Linux specific bug.
Joel, most likely you are missing the OpenSymbol font. Can you confirm?
Although, when the font is missing, usually blank squares are displayed. Maybe your GTK+ theme is playing a role here as well?
OpenSymbol is installed. As for themes - just using default "Ambiance" theme.
CCing Maxim as he'd likely know what questions to ask. Joel: What desktop environment and theme are you using?
Unity with Ambience theme (I think...that's what Ubuntu tweak tells me at least....)
I just set up a test user (so all theming would be default) and it works as expected...should I close this as NOTABUG? Or at least NOTOURBUG?
We use the default text color that's reported by GTK to draw those items, and it seems that for some dark themes it's white or light gray. I guess we should just ignore the GTK theme in this case, and always use black text on white background. Jay - what do you think?
@Maxim - wow, thoroughly impressed that you figured this out as it's been giving me issues :) Thanks for the insightful feedback - I'd love to have useful icons even in my dark theme. It seems like dark themes cause a few UI related issues - see e.g., bug #90214
(In reply to Maxim Monastirsky from comment #8) > Jay - what do you think? If the background is always white, then definitely the text should always be black.
(In reply to Yousuf (Jay) Philips from comment #10) > If the background is always white Right now it's inconsistent. The toolbar dropdowns as well as all the tabs in the dialog except "Outline", are always white. But the "Outline" tab takes the background of the OS theme (so with a dark theme it has a black background with white text). On the one hand, it makes sense to use white background, because those items are kind of a "preview" of a page, and the default page color is white. But on the other hand, I looked in other dialogs (like Character, Paragraph, Columns), and they all take the background of the OS theme. So I think, we should take a decision here, and enforce it across all dropdowns/dialogs.

IMHO, it should always be black text on white background when its a preview, its fine for dialogs to be themed by the OS theme, but not previews. This would just reduce theming issues where there shouldnt be. (e.g. bug 86472)

I tried to verify that this was fixed, but there's no steps to reproduce. How do you force daily builds to use your desktops theme?
(In reply to Luke from comment #17) > How do you force daily builds to use your desktops theme? You don't need to force anything. If your DE is properly detected, and the build has the plugin for your DE, that's enough.
