LibreOffice is written using Swing and there are two plugins: one for gtk2 and one for gtk3. I've noticed that no matter what icon set is used the gtk3 theme is too dark. In other places like in the configuration dialogues the text is only slightly brighter than the button background and is virtually unreadable.

It would be nice if LibreOffice were written using SWT by Eclipse instead so that it wraps the native system libraries of gtk2/3.

Also I sometimes wonder if the Ubuntu theme system is due in for an overhaul. I've tried Ubuntu with alternative themes (the ones I thought recommended) and they don't even look right on Ubuntu.
