Description xris 2007-10-23 09:22:45 UTC 
OO installed in fedora 7, via red hat rpm repository.

No matter what I do, I can't seem to get calc to display any cell background
colors (the preview in "format cells" works fine).  This seems to trace back to
a problem interpreting the gtk base[NORMAL] color preference, since when I edit
it in my theme to something lighter than #090916 (my default), the cell
backgrounds appear again.  The threshold appears to be somewhere around #404020.

You can find a theme that manifests the problem here:

I have had same issue under Win2K and Ubuntu Hardy, with OOo 2.4.1 and 3.0 beta.
 Cell colors vanish when either a) the document background or b) the window
color ["3D objects" in Windows] are adjusted below the threshold. 
Manually-colored cells and conditional-formatting-colored cells all lose their
color, until background or 3Do color is raised beyond the threshold.
Comment 2 techgurufloyd 2009-06-05 18:04:35 UTC 
I'm using KDE, and my kde themes are applied to gtk apps. It seems the threshold
is as follows:
OOo enters some kind of High Contrast Mode at
rgb: 38,38,38
rgb: 39,39,39 disables that mode.

I believe this is a side effect (duplicate) of issue #35482

I have the same problem. Kubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx, KDE), selected a dark color
scheme (darKubuntu http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php?content=115741), OO
3.2.0 ('out of the box'). 
I cannot set any cell background, also I cannot set border color.

Addition to previous post: my charts are now black & white only
