Created attachment 65461 [details] checkboxes with wrong background colour Recipe: 1. Set the system window background colour to something non-white (in the attached screen-shot this is RGB(255,248,233). 2. Start LibreOffice. 3. Goto menu Tools -> Options In the left option tree the correct system background colour is used. 4. Goto option LibreOffice -> View Comboboxes show correct system background colour. Checkboxes show wrong white background (see attached screenshot). This applies to all checkboxes whatever option is chosen.
This bug is not present in LibreOffice 3.5.2 on Windows XP SP3. LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 Build-ID: 281b639-6baa1d3-ef66a77-d866f25-f36d45f
Adding 'regression' keyword because of comment 1.
LibreOffice's colouring of UI checkboxes' background is a little bit more confusing. System window background colour is not completely ignored, but distorted in a strange way. As an example, setting system window background colour to an orange tone RGB(255,127,63), makes LibreOffice render UI checkboxes with a background of RGB(255,102,51), see second attachment. UI Combo boxes etc. are again rendered correctly with a background of RGB(255,127,63).

With LibreOffice versions 4.0.0.3 4.0.1.1 things are even worse. Now even document background isn't honouring system wide background, but is blinding white. This makes for very bad accessability. User experience is highly degraded. Thanks, Stephan Hennig
In LibreOffice 3.6.5 document background honours system wide settings. That is, the accessibility relevant part of this bug has been introduced in LibreOffice 4.

Stephan, if I remember correctly the application background is always set to gray since 4.x. This is because some people say this is a bug and some don't (especially if you have a black desktop). To change the application background: Tools -> Options -> Appearance -> Application background. I can't confirm the bug with (tested with light and dark themes on Xfce) Version: 4.1.1.2 Build ID: 4.1.1.2 Arch Linux build-2 I'm removing regression, because it's only a regression if it's confirmed on the same OS. Windows is totally different especially on drawing the windows and so on. Please reopen it if this bug still occurs on a newer version.
