<p>I've been using LO ever since it first came out with StarOffice -
and before that StarOffice, so I've lost track of the years
experience, but I've used it for authoring over 5000 technical
reports running 50-1500 pages. (VERY happily I no longer have
that job... :-) ). Today I have LO installed on 4 machines, 3
Linux and 1 Windows, and I use all of them regularly. FWIW, I
don't think I'm hitting a simple "newbie" error.<br>
</p>
<p>So far as I can tell, I have exactly the same settings on ALL 3
of the Linux boxes (and they're virtually the same on Windows).
(all 3 boxes have Nvidia graphics cards - and all they share the
same display/keyboard/mouse through a KVM switch).<br>
</p>
<p>The problem is that on my primary workstation, the background
remains VERY dark no matter which icon set I'm using (specifically
'#33393b'). This makes it virtually impossible to use some of the
darker icon sets, and no matter which icon set I try, this dark
background leaves many of the icons nearly "invisible".</p>
<p>I have NO idea what's causing the problem - this machine shows no
other display differences (on ANY application) among any of the
Linux boxes.</p>
<p>Has anyone seen this before? (I have searched through the past 3
years of emails but I haven't seen any reference to it.)</p>
<p>If not, does anyone have any suggestions to try? As this is also
my main writing machine this situation makes it much harder to
work on anything, and I've been battling this for about a year now
with no helpful results.</p>
<p>I suspect a corrupted configuration file somewhere but I haven't
been able to find it, and I am the only user on this machine who
has the problem. <br>
</p>
<p>Any advice or suggestions will be (a) tried, and (b) greatly
appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
<p> -- Bill<br>
