Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Because of the new GTK theme in Lucid Lynx, OpenOffice looks strange. There are several instances of harsh black lines on the peach background; the contrast is too strong. These lines border words in the Status Bar, seperate icons in the Toolbars, and wedge themselves at the end of scrollbars.

Here is a screenshot for an example: http://tinyurl.com/openofficelines

These border lines should be a much lighter colour. I recommend #E4DCCD

For the next ubuntu version I propose to replace actual light-theme by one of these:

excuse me if I am rude but aren't they better than the actual one?
Meanwhile we should work in details to have a better GTK theme in ubuntu 10.04.1 by default, this is very important.

This is an IMPROVEMENT for the actual lucid lynx theme, we can make it look like this which is great and sweet:

Needs to be set to "Wishlist" importance. Not sure if the UI team would rate it higher.

Can I be part of ubuntu designer team? At least I could help giving some ideas, let's work on this one we could make ubuntu 10.04.1 look much better and more refined
