[Solved+Issue] Scrollbar handle missing from AOO on Cinnamon
Posted: Wed May 28, 2014 10:04 am
HI
I found on the Cinnamon desktop that the scrollbar handle was missing from OpenOffice writer.
After following loads of tips and advice that got me nowhere I finally stumbled upon the simple solution.
Firstly, this is not a Cinnamon problem and its not a OpenOffice problem
The problem is with the theme, actually its not the choice of theme either.
The problem is with the setting for the theme for the Controls.
So heres the solution:
(1) Use whatever theme you like
(2) open the settings for cinnamon (usually the screwdriver/spanner icon on the main icon toolbar in my case on the far left of the screen when I click on the application popup)
(3) choose Themes
(4) ignore "Installed" tab and go for the "Other settings" tab
(5) Change the theme for Controls to "Adwaita"
Voila.
No reset of gnome required.
I hope this saves someone the hours and days it took me to solve.
