[libreoffice-users] Theme madness - Help!

I have been using SO/OO/LO since StarOffice 0.9, with the latest
version being 4.1.3.2 on Xubuntu 13.10. In all that time I have never
had problems with the appearance of menus, background colors, etc. But
now suddenly the appearance is horribly wrong. Menu fonts are in some
very large font but hard to read because the strokes are extremely
thin. Some icons, e.g. the format painter icon, are a Greek character. 

I tried to change the theme, but was taken to a Firefox page with
hundreds of themes, all of which looked even worse than the mess I
have now, although I must confess that I was so disgusted that I stopped
looking after a couple pages.

My previous version was 3.5.7.2 from the repos on Xubuntu 12.04. How
can I get a clean, uncluttered look back, like I had before?

I might add that for a long time I have used only a customized
formatting toolbar (all others turned off), which I keep in a square
window off to the right. I opened up LO just now and it was still off
to the right, but had reverted to a single line. What is going on with
my settings?

Should I uninstall the version from the Ubuntu repository and install
the version from LO instead?
