      Er, in exactly what way?

      It's probably worth realising that if the whole idea of cell 
      background colouring had failed, someone would have noticed. So, 
      whatever problem you are finding, it is unlikely to be solved
      simply 
      by using another version of the application itself.
      
    
    I agree that it is probably a Win7/Java/LO-configuration problem
    rather than a LO bug.

      It very probably is.

      I think you may have to *deselect* them.

      This is an important clue, of course - so I wonder why you kept it
      a 
      secret in your original query.
      
      
      >But why not on my screen?
      
      
      I'm guessing here, and I don't have the set-up to test my 
      suggestions. Operating systems can have a "high contrast" setting;
      
      your Windows does, and you can find it in Control Panel. The idea
      of 
      these is that you can modify the appearance of your work *on your
      
      display* to make it easier to work, whilst preserving the final 
      appearance of your document when it is printed or whatever. This
      is 
      not so different from the row number, column letters, and indeed
      the 
      grid - all of which appear in the screen display but not (at least
      by 
      default) in the real document. As you say, these screen
      readability 
      changes do not show up in Page Preview - which instead
      demonstrates 
      the true appearance of your document.
      
      
      The exact screen appearance as you work depends on a combination
      of 
      the high-contrast settings in Windows and your choices in
      LibreOffice 
      at Tools | Options... | LibreOffice | Accessibility. You may want
      to 
      experiment with these to see what you prefer.
      
    
    Can you give me any advice which WIN7/LO settings/parameters I have
    to change 
    
      Alternatively, since you now admit that your actual document
      behaves 
      as you want, you may choose to do nothing.
      
      
      I trust this helps.
