OK'd out of Expert Configuration and Options. > > Once validated, the new theme is propagated to new documents (the > current file environment is not changed yet). Not sure I fully understand what the above line means, but: * I tried immediately opening a new document. No persona. * I went back into Expert Configuration and my previous settings were gone. * I again edited the settings and tried closing and restarting LO. No persona. * Next, I went back into Expert Configuration and again edited the settings, OK'd out of Expert Configuration and immediately when back in again to find that my settings had already been lost. > > To get to these grips, I read a blog article that I'm totally unable > to find right now.

Maybe something has changed between your 5.4.6.2 and my 6.1.1.2 which cases LO to ignore or drop Expert Configuration changes. Guess I will just have to learn to love LO's boring "battleship grey" colors. However, I thank you again for taking the time to try and help.
