Writer ignores theme in Xubuntu 12.04 when file is opened from file manager.
I installed Xubuntu 12.04 then recreated ~/Documents with Deja-Dup.
(I have not entered my email details yet so this is written from the old Natty partition. Same machine, different partition.)
I am using LibreOffice installed from Xubuntu repository. My Xubuntu theme is changed to Clearlight, in 'appearance' and in 'window manager' either Sassandra or Clearlight. (That is light greys and blues.)
Expected behaviour:
In the new installation completely updated, Sept 5, I opened a new document from inside LibreOffice, and also reopened an old document transferred from Natty, from inside LibreOffice. The theme was completely correctly applied.
Aberrant behaviour:
However, if I found the document I wanted in Xubuntu file manager, *.odf, and double clicked to open in LibreOffice, the Clearlight theme was not working at all. The entire window frame and buttons looked like the default gtk colors, a tint of yellow ochre, all corners square, no shadows. Particularly noticeable is the area outside of "Print layout" was black instead of the theme grey.
Ok, so I do know it is not a fault with LibreOffice itself because the same behaviour occurs with gedit. It is just a compatibility issue around the change from gtk2 to gtk3.
Workaround is to open documents from inside LibreOffice.
