[libreoffice-users] Re: Create Firefox Personas for LibreOffice further notes
krackedpress wrote I wish there was a better way to do this. I added a number of personas to the FF system, but LO did not [back then] take the text color option correctly from the FF persona settings. Yes the font color is really important for the darker backgrounds. Also, the icons in the toolbars might have problems with darker backgrounds, or at least it did when I created them when LO first started to use personas. It would be nice to have a persona editor built in to the personalization option[s] so you can choose the background image[s] and the font color within LO and not have to do the hard coding in the setup file[s]. The Font Colour option is currently broken when displaying the STARTUP CENTER screen. This is fixed in 4.3. However you can bypass this problem by reloading the Personas. I have found that defaulting the Font Colour to RED #ff gives a more flexible look that suits more Personas than plain BLACK #00. In that case you can reload a Personas stored on you own system without the need to restart LibO. Simply use a default header name, in my case Header.jpg for the Personas, overwrite or rename the exisiting Personas in the folder and do the following Remove the Personas TOOLS OPTIONS PERSONALIZATION Plain Look OK Reload the Personas TOOLS OPTIONS PERSONALIZATION Own Theme OK You can use an image editor such as GIMP to create the Personas, save it into the /Gallery/Personas folder and you have a basic in-house Personas management system.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Create Firefox Personas for LibreOffice further notes
My original response was just to show where the Personas were actually kept on the LibreOffice system. These notes may be of interest for those who wish to dabble further. Adding Personas to LibreOffice does seem slightly convoluted, especially compared with Firefox and Thunderbird. Don't forget that F and T are designed to be online and provide an online repository for the images. Originally you needed to download each image to update the Personas, only one image was stored on your system using a common name. This was obviously not ideal for private Personas either for private personal or business use. The F/T PERSONAS PLUS Add-On provides a facility to manage Personas, together with their Text Colours directly on your machine. This function is called CUSTOM PERSONA. I actually use this function to test Personas using Firefox and only add them to LibreOffice when they are ready to go. One of this year's LibreOffice Google Summer of Code projects is to “Improve Usability of Personas” which Rachit Gupta is carrying out. I, for one look forward to what he produces. Personas Plus is an obvious starting point. Oh, another wrinkle. It is only when you add the first Personas using LibreOffice that the Personas folder “/Gallery/Personas” and the entry in the registrymodifications.xcu file are created. Changing the text colour may seem like an unnecessary luxury. However, the default of black does not show up well on a dark image. Hope this helps..
