[openoffice.org] Cannot Change Style (always Human) in OOo 3 from PPA

[GenuineXP]

This is probably trivial, but very irritating nonetheless. I dislike the Human icon theme, and OpenOffice.org for Ubuntu ships with Human themed style I also don't like. I've installed OpenOffice.org 3 using the popular PPA for Intrepid and no matter what I do, I cannot change the style to anything other than Human. As a last resort, I removed the GTK+ packages for OOo, which caused it to fall back on its own renderer (looks a lot like Windows, naturally). Finally, it used the Galaxy style (which I prefer), but... no GTK widgets! Arg!

The funny thing is that even after uninstalling the GTK+ packages, the Human style is always selected in the options dialog even after I change it.

Does anyone know what could be happening? I'd really like to get rid of the Human style and use Galaxy instead. I've already tried purging all OpenOffice.org packages and installing again from scratch to no avail.

Thanks.

It also seems to be always selected here, but I could change the style to Tango by also changing the icon size from "automatic" to "small." Perhaps, some icon sets don't come with automatic (scalable?) icons size.

Hm, selecting Tango does not work here, regardless of the icon size setting. No other styles work other than Human, and Human is always the displayed selection when I open the options dialog in OOo.

Thanks for the input.

I supose, this is because none of the other sets is installed (or present in repository).

How does one change the visual style of OpenOffice anyway?

I have the same problem - Cannot change to anything other than the human theme in openoffice.. I have tried both the galaxy, crystal and tango theme wich are all installed.. somehow the openoffice-gnome or openoffice-gtk package overwrites the setting.. Wery anoying...
