The start center ignores the Appearance configuration (something like svtools::ColorConfig().GetColorValue(svtools::APPBACKGROUND).nColor) and uses instead the "workspace gradient", see framework::BackingWindow::Paint() in trunk/main/framework/source/services/backingwindow.hxx|cxx The default is defined in trunk/main/vcl/inc/vcl/settings.hxx #define DEFAULT_WORKSPACE_GRADIENT_START_COLOR Color( 0xa3, 0xae, 0xb8 ) #define DEFAULT_WORKSPACE_GRADIENT_END_COLOR Color( 0x73, 0x7e, 0x88 ) and set in void ImplStyleData::SetStandardStyles() main/vcl/source/app/settings.cxx In dark themes it is set to black, see void Window::ImplUpdateGlobalSettings( AllSettings& rSettings, sal_Bool bCallHdl ) in main/vcl/source/window/window.cxx It looks like playing with this should take also into account high contrast / dark themes, because leaving the default app. background in the Tools dialog makes the background change accordingly. That said, AOO look really horrible in dark themes, but that's another issue :) Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
