[libreoffice-users] Making LO look nice

[Malcolm Moore]

I have installed LO5.1.2 on openSUSE Leap ( Plasma)  and the only way I can 
get it to look nice is to set my widget type to GTK+ Any thing else and the 
icons in the 'View' menu look terrible ( Most are light blue and seem to be 
some sort of default icon )


If I use the KDE4 extensions LO doesn't seem to follow most of the icon themes
and looks terrible in everything except when I use GTK+
If I use the Gnome extensions Adwaita looks pretty nice but the 'on off' icons 
( like
'view/status bar ' ) don't change
If I have neither it looks like it was written in the 1980's !!


Can someone suggest some combination that looks beautiful !  :-)

FWIW, somebody once emailed me, asking where the Microsoft Groove
functionality could be found in LibreOffice, or if not in it, a libre
alternative. I told them I didn't know, since I only listen to CDs.

I didn't have the heart to ask them what sort of office suite includes a
music streaming service.

They were probably referring to the "Microsoft Office Groove" 
collaboration tool 
, which 
was renamed to "SharePoint Workspace" in 2010 (before being replaced by 
"OneDrive for Business").


Although the confusion with "Xbox Music" which was renamed to "Groove 
Music"  in 2015 isn't 
surprising...

This is incorrect -- Sorry had a slip of the brain or copy / paste !!!

Front page is one of the worst programs for creating Web pages (HTML). Even 
"Dreamweaver" used to have a menu option called "clean up Front page".

My recommendations, amongst the many, many web development programs available,  
is "Bluefish", open source, runs on Linux, Windows, OS X, etc.

So Microsoft Front page;   Bluefish

   Not sure as to what you're referring, but if you don't like the
font, just click on that setting & choose one which suits you for your
purpose; if you don't like the background, you can change this as well; ...
etc. ... just click on the various settings & choose what suits you.
  this would apply to both Impress & Writer.

   Hoping this helps,
