From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031018 Galeon/1.3.9 Description of problem: By default ooffice uses a ugly color palette which reminds me of motif. ooffice 1.0.2 picks up the gnome colors which look much better, but 1.1.0 doesn't. A workaround is xprop -root -format GNOME_SM_PROXY 8i -set GNOME_SM_PROXY 1 Discussion can be found at http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1281 http://gsl.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=820729&listName=dev Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.0-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ooffice 2. 3. Actual Results: Ugly color palette Expected Results: Gnome like color palette Additional info:
Can you give me some more details on your current setup and system? Every box I've tried 1.1 on results in the colors matching the current GNOME theme, even when I've changed the theme the colors dynamically update to that theme's colors. Need to figure out why yours aren't doing the same since its always worked for me. Which window manager are you running too? There should be another process running called "getstyle-gnome" or "gnome-getstyle" (I can't remember which). This is the process that picks up the color differences.
I am using Gnome 2.4 with Sawfish. The program name you are looking for is getstyle-gnome. It exists but I don't see it running. I do get the error message below every time I run ooffice. I tried switching back to metacity with the same results. sed: can't read /home/user/.openoffice/user/config/registry/instance/org/openoffice/Setup.xml: No such file or directory
The error is known and to be solved in 1.1.0-3. Can you post the permissions on getstyle-gnome for me?

Please try current OOo 1.1.0, and reopen if problem still occurs
