Do you know personas? Created for Firefox, perfect for LibreOffice! 
Hi!
My name is, as you might know Florian Reisinger and I am working at the LibreOffice project. Currently most of the things I am writing are about the topic. I hope, you like what I am writing...

You probably should not referrer to the themes as personas. Mozilla is transitioning away from that name and using it for something else:

I am going to pass it on…

nice idea, although IMHO it’s lacking in implementation.
When you have entered a persona in the URL field, and then open it again, the URL is gone, so when someone sees this nice persona/theme I have installed in LibreOffice, I cannot tell them which one it is.
It would also be nice with a list to select between the ones you have already tried.
And most importantly – it seems that you are missing the feature for the menu to change color along with the theme. If I install a dark theme in firefox, it typically changes the menu to be written with white text, but LibreOffice keeps the menu text black, so you actually cannot see the menu. I haven’t found any way to change the color myself.
Also – a little unrelated though – to me it seems that there is missing an apply button in the options, I have to reopen the options dialog every time I want to see what a persona looks like in LibreOffice.
Looking forward to the feature being more fully implemented
Oh, by the way I’m running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3

Hi, I have created these as bugs in bugzilla. I have also confirmed that the one about the menu items not changing color is NOT present on my Ubuntu 12.04 – 32-bit installation.
I have the same problem. Dark persona, menu font remains black and therefore unreadable.
I am running PCLinuxOS 2013. Ditto on other comments of Heine above.
There is active development going on to resolve this problem…
Great to hear. Do you have a time window when the improvement for the menu font for dark themes could be available?
I can only tell you, that the developer knows the issue. Feel free to have a look at this bug.. You may find all persona related bug here…
Thanks for the link and the quick response.
