Ahh, thanks for the information. I know that there has been talk of 
having a separate Mac set of screenshots.

IMHO, if we can make LibreOffice colours show on desktops then it will 
be great marketing feat. I would imagine that if the LibreOffice green 
sticks out in a sea of "blue or graphite", then people will notice it. I 
don't think people will complain of the LibreOffice software quality 
because it displays different colours. I guess we would then be 
considered the "nasty rebels" on the Mac platform ... ironic when you 
consider the Mac has TV commercials depicting itself as a rebel to 
MSWindows. :-)

Cheers

Marc
