This shouldn't be the case. Controls which are part of the document are explicitly designed to look the same regarsdless of the platform. Which is different to controls in e.g. Basic dialogs, which are desgined to use the theming of the OS. The colors you describe - are they from the theming of your OS? If so, could you run a small basic macro which tells you the NativeWidgetLook property of the control? > I don't know.

Well, for controls in documents in was explicitly decided to not use OS colors, because they are part of the document, and you wouldn't expect other parts of the document - say, the heading colors - to change with the platform where you open the doc. You can, in theory, override this with the NativeWidgetLook property as mentioned above, on a per-control basis. > If OOo gets these colors from OS settings, > which are those? Settings from GTK? Something else? AFAIK, they use a desktop-provided API saying "paint a check box", i.e. OOo doesn't retrieve the colors and paint the checkbox itself, but the OS is to paint it. However, I'm not sure about this. [EMAIL PROTECTED] probably knows this level of details.
