Though some people said OpenOffice was dead, but honestly I'm comfortable with OpenOffice than other document editor.
Anyway I think I get a trouble with OpenOffice on arch Linux (I have two machine and installed arch Linux there). OpenOffice can't follow my gtk theme (breeze, adwaita, etc) and stuck on Raleigh theme.
_
I suspect it because gtk stuff or maybe python stuff (since I know OpenOffice needs python, right).
And strangely it happens just on arch Linux 64 bit but not on my arch Linux 32 bit (archlinux32). Any ideas?
OpenOffice 4.1.8
_
Things I've done:
Set OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome (not work).
Load gtk-2.0 configuration manually (not work).
Installing some package which relate to gtk and python (pygtk, python-xlib, gtkmm) etc. (Not work).

Re: Openoffice stuck on Raleigh theme and can't change.
OpenOffice can't follow anything that did not exist 10 years ago. Either you use it as is (for me it crashes too often) or you fix things on your own or use LibreOffice which is more or less the same software. I would think that it is by far easier and more rewarding to adjust to a slightly different software.

How did you install 4.1.8? It doesn't appear to be in the AUR. Are you using a desktop environment that has a theme configuration tool? AOO 4.1.7 does follow my theme in Manjaro Cinnamon.

Thanks Allah, it's solved, I just need to install "gdk-pixbuf-xlib" package.

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs//v ... -xlib.htmlThe gdk-pixbuf-xlib package provides a deprecated Xlib interface to gdk-pixbuf, which is needed for some applications which have not been ported to use the new interfaces yet.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.0 platform.

Manjaro Cinnamon doesn't have gdk-pixbuf-xlib or gdk-pixbuf installed. It does have gdk-pixbuf2. Gdk-pixbuf-xlib is available from the official repository but is deprecated. Gdk-pixbuf is only available from the AUR.
It seems strange that a cutting edge rolling release like Arch would require a deprecated package.
