The Firefox personas/themes in LO have been broken for a very long time.
There are a few optimistic sounding notes posted on Bugzilla, but as
noted you "/shouldn't expect this issue to be fixed in the foreseeable
future/".

If you have a recent version of LO installed, you will find 6 "personas"
in the LO installation directory C:\Program
Files\LibreOffice\share\gallery\personas\.
They appear in the LibreOffice -> Options -> Personalization as
"/Preinstalled themes/".
Here is a workaround I have used to overcome this LO defect:

  * Pick one of the "/Preinstalled themes/" and apply it. For
illustration purposes only I am using "/Sand/".
  * Shut LO down
  * Take the .xpi you downloaded and unzip it to any convenient folder.
  * Most likely the .xpi contains 3 graphic jpg or png files ( 1 - 200
px high, 1 -100 px high and preview image)
  * Copy the 200px high and the 100px high files over to C:\Program
Files\LibreOffice\share\gallery\personas\sand
  * If you get a message asking to overwrite, answer YES. Otherwise
delete the existing "Header.png" and "Footer.png" files and rename
the files extracted from the .xpi as "Header.png" and "Footer.png".
  * If they are jpeg images rename them "Header.jpg" and "Footer.jpg"
and edit the 5th line of C:\Program
Files\LibreOffice\share\gallery\personas\personas_list.txt:
sand;Sand;sand/preview.png;sand/header.jpg;sand/footer.jpg;;#00;#ff
  * Restart LO and your theme should be displayed.

You say that you using a high contrast setting, in which case you might
need to tweak some of the 2 color settings in the C:\Program
Files\LibreOffice\share\gallery\personas\personas_list.txt file.

NOTE: Once you have a working configuration, make a backup copy of your
chosen theme (eg. sand), because it will not survive any LO update.

Hop this helps.

Dave

This problem is not new. Several months ago when I first downloaded LO I
encountered it, and in fact it made me delay starting using LO because of
this issue.

I came to understand that I shouldn't expect this issue to be fixed in the
foreseeable future. So I downloaded a theme on my desktop (*.xpi). Is it
possible to install it manually in some folder?

Thanks,

[libreoffice-users] Firefox themes

2019-06-22 Thread Eustace Fril
 The menu bar of LO is all white, I cannot see anything except when I click
on an item.

I have Windows 10 and use High Contrast yellow on black colors.

I've tried to get Firefox themes, but I wasn't able. It says:

Cannot open
htpps://services
Please try again later.

This problem is not new. Several months ago when I first downloaded LO I
encountered it, and in fact it made me delay starting using LO because of
this issue.

I came to understand that I shouldn't expect this issue to be fixed in the
foreseeable future. So I downloaded a theme on my desktop (*.xpi). Is it
possible to install it manually in some folder?

Thanks,

Eustace

Hello,
This is my first post, so greetings to everyone.
After a lot of years using Microsoft products, i recently moved to Linux
Mint and also to Libreoffice.
I find a little problem using Writer. When i type "/" into a filesystem
path
(example: /home/user/) it disappears and the characters change tu
italics.
How could i change this behavior? (I could not find it at "options",
either
searching at this forum).
Regards;

You will find that in Tools -> AutoCorrect -> AutoCorrect Options
on the Options tab two check boxes (M - while modifying, T - while typing)
for the stanza "Automatic *bold*,/ italic/,- strikeout-,_underline_"

Just uncheck, and OK to apply. Remember to revert if you need the feature
otherwise.


I did not know this 'feature' existed, so i uncheck it!

Now i need to find a way to know that i should uncheck this when there 
is a need to reset my userprofile
