[GitHub] [openoffice] Pilot-Pirx opened a new pull request, #181: Set the fontcolor always to black

Pilot-Pirx opened a new pull request, #181:
URL: https://github.com/apache/openoffice/pull/181

   We should set the fontcolor to black by default.
   
   Some themes on Linux use a slightly different color, for example Ubuntu uses a dark gray.
   
   That drove me mad, because I thought my printer was broken. ;-)
   At the moment I have set the fontcolor manually to black.

this is also my expectation.

A dark grey is *maybe* still OK. But let's imagine the next theme is a 
brighter grey. Does the normal user know or expect that the printed font 
color is also this grey?
I don't think so. ;-)

So, for me the change to always black is OK.

It is not about the interface color, but the font color used in Writer 
documents as default.

For example, if you open an odt (created on Windows) on Ubuntu (with 
Ambience desktop theme) the standard text color will change from black 
to dark gray (#3C3C3C). And of course the printer will then print dark 
gray and not black.

I think documents should look the same, independent from a desktop 
theme. Of course the user still can change the defaults to whatever he 
likes. ;-)
