I am running Xubuntu 11.10 and everything works nicely. I have selected a nice Xfce theme and everything looks beautiful, except Libreoffice.

While other programmes (Gimp, Inkscape, Thunar etc.) integrate with the selected Appearance & Window Manager theme, Libreoffice looks like a Windows 98 programme.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I have already tried this solution, without success: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1584010&page=2

Thanks for your help!

Ensure that you have libreoffice-gtk installed, if not it will not be integrated correctly. LibreOffice is a vcl application (not sure if any other applications use that toolkit), and needs packages like that for integration with GTK+ and Qt.

  • Hi Roland, thanks a lot! This answered my question. Installed libreoffice-gtk and now it looks wonderfully. But not sure why this was not installed on default. I installed Libreoffice through the Ubuntu Software Centre. – Treepata Dec 08 '11 at 14:57
  • @Treepata: it doesn't seem to get pulled in by default (for some reason libreoffice does not depend on it), so you have to manually add it later. – RolandiXor Dec 08 '11 at 15:19

I directly downloaded .tar.gz package from official libre office website and followed instruction in readme file. its pretty easy and theme works fine.

    This does not provide a sufficient answer to the question. Try to add more information, and / or examples. – Mitch Oct 07 '12 at 10:25
