Customizing the NeoOffice/J user interface font and application background color

Use a Mac-like Font

1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.
2. In the left-hand column, if the box next to NeoOffice/J is a plus sign (+), click it once to reveal its sub-categories.
3. Select the Fonts sub-category.
4. On the right portion of the window, check the box next to Apply Replacement Table if it is not already checked.
5. Use the pull-down menus to replace Arial with Lucida Grande.
6. Click the check box to the right.
7. Press OK at the bottom of the window.

Note: OOo uses Andale Sans UI as default UI font. NeoOffice/J now uses Arial because it is more cross-platform.

Use a Mac-like Background Color

Beginning with NeoOffice/J 1.1 Release Candidate Patch-1, NeoOffice/J uses colors from your System Preferences Appearance settings for much of the UI; however, a slightly-lighter background color is still desireable.

1. From the NeoOffice/J menu, choose Preferences….
2. In the left-hand column, if the box next to NeoOffice/J is a plus sign (+), click it once to reveal its sub-categories.
3. Select the Appearance sub-category.
4. Under Application Background, change to Grey 20%.
5. Press OK at the bottom of the window.

This makes the blank areas in a window look far, far less "Win95."
