Yellow elements in LibreOffice when using Gtk3 VCL backend.

[beanaroo]

Not entirely sure where the problem lies but it is only present when using the Arc theme.

As noted by a reddit user here:

The screenshot is of a modified Arc theme but I can confirm the same behaviour on master branch.

Switching to the Gtk2 VCL backend with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk as a workaround.

• Arch Linux
• i3wm 4.13
• Arc version/commit : 654.0af4e07
• GTK+ 3 version: 3.22.7
  • Murrine engine version: 0.98.2
  • gnome-themes-standard version: 3.22.2
• Installation method: gtk-arch-theme-git (aur)

Java based applications like LibreOffice are pain in the arse, because I have never used them without a problem! I have similar problem and I used: env GTK_THEME=Arc libreoffice To get rid of that nonsense :D

@xeriab Libreoffice ? java?

[xeriab]

@bil-elmoussaoui Yes sir :)

their ui isnt java though is it, also that #659 seems to say libreoffice 5.3 fixed it

[beanaroo]

Unfortunately, issue persists after upgrading to Libreoffiice 5.3

[xeriab]

@kn00tcn Nope the problem still there!

I'm still having this problem as well on OpenSuse Tumbleweed with i3wm even with libreoffice 5.3. Neither setting SAL_USE_VCPLUGIN=gtk or GTK_THEME=Arc have any effect.

To be honest I don't think Arc theme (light) is free from this issue. It doesn't look that bad or that obvious but those pure black borders and toolbar handles still look out of place and wrong and it manifests itself in the exact same places where yellow borders do in Arc Dark.

[kn00tcn]

is that on 5.3? on 5.2 & a slightly older arc-light, those black lines are correctly grey rather than black

[michaldaniel]

@kn00tcn Yes, that is 5.3.
