Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 51206
Text on tabs does not inherit system color (some XP skins and themes)
Last modified: 2013-02-07 21:53:00 UTC
Tabs of for example font settings or other dialogs aren't readable because OpenOffice overrides the text color. Normally the default color of inactive tab sheets should be white in this skin, but OOo seems to override it and put it all times _black_ which results in not readable text. See attached screenshot. I already asked the developer of the XP Skin about this problem and he told me that the app overrides it instead of using the default color assigned by the skin. The problem exists on 32bit Windows XP Pro, too.

TM->shivan: Please mention and/or provide the skin to let us be able to reproduce this problem. Maybe this issue has already been fixed and won´t occur anymore in a m114 or m115 build.

Today I tried build 118 but problem still exists. OffTopic: - The german language pack for 1.9.118 windows is still missing? -
Still exists on build 1.9.122
maybe the same problem TZ had on his JDS?
Confirming with 2.3m210 on WinXP - tabs in paragraph properties are invisible (except currently selected tab) with "2G-Problue.theme".
Issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70250 seems to be related.
