I need the ability to make signed PDFs in LibreOffice, so I tried LO 5 and LO 4.4 rpms from LO.org but they are useless (menu and toolbar are black). Anyone been able to use a higher version of LO? Thanks

I just checked and the "Digital Signatures" tab exists and appears to be active on the PDF Export menu option, though I've not actually tried to use it myself. Does Libreoffice 5 not work on Centos 6? I've never tried that, either. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

I think all I did was download the tarball, go in the rpm directory and run rpm -ivh *rpm.

I don't think this list accepts screenshots, so I'll try to describe. The menu is a black rectangle, if you click somewhere you see the dropdown which is black with 1 or 2 menu-items in white. Toolbar is black with some buttons visible (some of them disappearing when moused-over). Dialog boxes have black buttons etc. All in all rather difficult to use. Do you run gnome? Maybe then this is a KDE thing.

I used the official installers from LO website (unpacked their archive, extracted all .rpm files into a directory, then `yum install *.rpm`).
