    Libre Office and dark themes

    I have a dark theme with transparency going. I remember with Open Office there was a fix as both Open and Libre Office use the high contrast theme when the GTK theme is dark.

    This high contrast thing is UGLY! Am I the only one using dark themes with Ubuntu these days? Why are there no fixes, none that Google could show me anyway. Do any of you peeps know how to get this high contrast thing away?

    Re: Libre Office and dark themes

    I use dark themes!

    I found a workaround. Although it's probably not ideal, try this:
    Open Synaptic Package Manager
    Uninstall libreoffice-gtk (will also remove libreoffice-gnome)
    Doing this changed my libreoffice back to the default theme (removing this package simply disables gtk integration, as far as I can tell).

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks a lot. If you ask me, that was a very ideal solution as it worked!
