Hi fellas,

Wel I just installed Openoffice 3.1 on my Arch distro and I liked the way it works.
However there has been a strange issue with the icons on the toolbar & also with the text on the menu-buttons itself.
They are all gone missing until I hover my mouse over the icons. once I hover to some other place the icons go invisible again. Same is the case with text on the menu-buttons as well!

I searched the net and many people suggested that the problem might be with the theme used. But I didnt use any theme, just the default that comes with original installation. Checked in Tools-->Options as well, configured the antialliasing settings and the icon settings but to no avail. What could be the problem?

What did you configure them as?
cheers,
jdk

Hi! Well I did the following:

Tools-->Options-->Appearance, Selected the Scheme as OpenOffice.Org.
Tools-->Options-->General, Selected use OpenOffice.Org dialogs.
Tools-->Options-->View, tries changing 'Use system fonts' Then in Icon style tried changing to all the options available eg. Industrial, crystal etc. but to no avail. In the same section tried to increase/decrease the pixel size to be antialiazed.

When I cange the style of icons, they change, however as soon as I hover the mouse over them the icons and the text go missing.

Is it a Qt problem??

Thatz what I tried.

Here are my settings and the icons look fine.

Oh yes, even mine is configured exactly the same way...but still no icons.

Thanks for your help anyway..

Hmmmm...it seams that the problem is with either qt o gtk...........

Yep Qt was the culprit....installed gtk theme switcher 'switch2'...and now it looks better than ever before...
