    LibreOffice Menu Buttons Unreadable [SOLVED]

    On all three of my 11.10 computers, I've noticed that the menu buttons in LibreOffice are black on black, and thus I can barely read the text that appears when you move the mouse over the button.

    Any idea how to change this back to something legible? I played around with the colors in the options but that didn't fix it.

    The reason is that out of the box your tooltip background is set to black - I don't know why. I had the same problem.

    Go to System Settings --> Application Appearance --> Colors and hit the Colors tab. Change the "Tooltip background" to something other than black.

        You're more than welcome. I had the same problem but didn't go look for a solution until you said something - now I'm gonna go file a bug report

        edit: Somebody already filed a bug report -

                I added to the bug also...

                Yeah, it worked for Openoffice, however, it also changes all the tool tip colors throughout KDE.

                So, for example, if I change the tool tip background to, say white, then every tool tip in KDE is white which looks really bad; especially if you hover over icons in ksystemsettings and get a huge white block with black chars... Really terrible to look at.

                Anyway to change the setting just for Openoffice?

                Thanks!
