Michael, Sorry that I used the background color directly. I just do not known jet how to use themes. Is there a theme for displaying a warning label in a dialog? The color of the warning was inspired by the spec: <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/Projects/NonModalMessageSystem#Step_2_-_Message_Style_2a" target="_blank">http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/Projects/NonModalMessageSystem#Step_2_-_Message_Style_2a</a> Where can I find the specs for the UI and UX for LibreOffice?

Seriously; any color we use for highlighting (or whatever) should come from the defined colors used for the rest of the app, and thus from some sort of system theme (ideally). That way it can be changed to be high-contrast / low-contrast etc. This is in part why you tend not to see yellow entries left/right :-) HTH, Michael. -- <a href="mailto:michael.meeks@novell.com">michael.meeks@novell.com</a> <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot </blockquote></div>
