[Solved] Program Display/Appearance convoluted
After a few re-installations and searching the forums I have found no answer to this problem. What I am seeing is the main AOO screen is showing a black background and no text until hovered over. The appearance settings change nothing, and the problem is occurring in all windows and toolboxes within the program. I've attached a screenshot for reference.

I suggest deleting or renaming the OO user profile, which a reinstallation does not affect.
As you are using Windows close OpenOffice and the Quickstarter. Open File
Explorer. Copy and paste %appdata%\OpenOffice\4 in the File Explorer (sometimes called Windows Explorer)
Address Bar and press Enter. Rename the "user" folder - "user.old" is a
good choice. Start OpenOffice.

This is caused by using a high contrast theme in Windows, not an appearance setting in AOO. Either turn off the high contrast theme or select a different high contrast theme.

Thank you, Bill. In that case, deleting/renaming the OO user profile will not affect the problem.

Thank you, this fixed the problem although now my entire system feels foreign after using high contrast for so long.Bill wrote:This is caused by using a high contrast theme in Windows, not an appearance setting in AOO.
