Thank you both! :-)  I am still trying to get the "real" values from the
system, so that we are 100% consistent there, I'll keep you informed
where I get with those efforts.

But for sure we can improve the look of the non-themed LO [ie. when used
on Linux outside of Gnome / KDE, or when used on older Windows]
immediately.  I myself slightly prefer the bluish look, but... ;-)

The code that sets the defaults in that case is here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/vcl/source/app/settings.cxx#n355

The values are reasonably self-descriptive, so if you can / want to play
with that directly, it would be most appreciated :-)  The trick on Linux
to force the 'generic' look is to

export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen

before running LibreOffice.

Alternatively just send me what to exchange the values to [including eg.
the default font size etc.], and I'll do it here & post you a
screenshot.

Thank you a lot,
Kendy
