Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Create Firefox Personas for LibreOffice further notes

I wish there was a better way to do this.
I added a number of personas to the FF system, but LO did not [back 
then] take the text color option correctly from the FF persona 
settings.  Yes the font color is really important for the darker 
backgrounds.  Also, the icons in the toolbars might have problems with 
darker backgrounds, or at least it did when I created them when LO first 
started to use personas.

It would be nice to have a "persona editor" built in to the 
personalization option[s] so you can choose the background image[s] and 
the font color within LO and not have to do the "hard coding" in the 
setup file[s].

I currently use this "stone" persona.  The "user count" states "0" but I 
know of at least 8 systems that are using this on for their version of LO.
