Bug Description

This bug report relates to the Gnome integration of OpenOffice as used in
Ubuntu. The gnome high visibility themes are fairly well supported including
high contrast themes in the Applications menu in the general gnome desktop, but
this does not carry over to the OpenOffice interface.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the gnome-accessibility-themes
2. Select the High Contras Large Print theme from Gnome theme preferences
  -- Note that desktop icons and most menu icons now appear in high contrast.
3. Open OpenOffice Writer and have a look around

The icons in the toolbar and menus are not high contrast and fit poorly with the
theme. The text in the menu is larger (good) but the text in the various setting
and prefrences windows is small and in many cases vhas poor contrast

These attachments show that openoffice does not seem to use the high contrast toolbar icons available on the system. Gedit, shown in front does use them, though several other applications only have partial coverage.

The problem becomes more evident when you select large fonts in the theme, as the icons remain small. The icons get bigger in all other apps (where supported) and in the panel menus.

Changing status from 'Needs info' to confirmed since info is now provided. (likely to be an upstream request though really)
