Description Unknown 2003-03-22 17:32:31 UTC 
As subject, people with certain medical conditions (esp eye conditions etc) get
headaches and other problems from looking at a bright white background.  In
order to use an application they need to change it to a black background, with
text in white (or yellow or some other colour).  PLEASE support this in
OpenOffice, otherwise you will prevent such people from using it at all.

You need an option for the user to set the foreground and background colours
(overriding what's in the document) and also the GUI foreground/background
colours for the dialogues, menus etc.

This is not a feature request - this is a defect.  Because a significant number
of people CANNOT use the product without this capability.  (And it will benefit
others too - less eye-fatigue etc)

If not closed, at least fix the spelling error in the title "clolour". Doesn't
help when searching.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
