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.

IIRC there's a settings in LO to follow the desktop theme or not (or something approaching), that's something to check too.

Definitely random graphic hicups. I'll go for C7 if one day I'll have some time left :-s Thanks for helping.

Hrrm, that might be worth a shot, install one of the lightweight window managers and see if that helps. If not, maybe even try with a new test user. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
