------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 21 15:37:03 +0000 2007 ------- Found on SUSE-supplied standard KDE 3.5.6 on SUSE 9.3 OOo 2.2 rc3 now adopts colours from the desktop and assigns them to automatic colours. If I want to get rid of this colour scheme and have my documents displayed with their "true" colours, I need to alter them in Tools->Options->Appearance. I can get my Writer docs to show with the normal white background and black text this way. The problem now is that if I start Impress, the slides still use the desktop-inherited background colour, but the font colour is changed to black as set in the options. This results, on my system, black text on dark background in Impress. There seems to be nothing in the Options that would enable me to get rid of the automatic (dark) background colour in Impress. This leads to the following dilemma: I can make my Writer docs look "normal" (white background, black text) but then my Impress slides will become impossible to work with, having now black as the font colour, but with automatic dark colour as the background colour. Only Writer recognises that the background should not be of automatic colour. Impress does not respect this, nor allow me to see the slides' original background in design view. So: Either I have to content with automatic colours in Writer--something I do not want to do--or accept the fact that Impress cannot be used due to the ridiculous colour combination of black on top dark background, and even so that the slides' background graphics do not show at all. Impress shows the slides' true colours when viewed in slide show. The solution: Make it possible for one to choose whether Impress uses automatic or "true" colours. As it stands now, I cannot use Impress without accepting automatic colours for the whole OOo, including Writer docs. This is not acceptable by any standards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
