How do you get Openoffice to look more Gnome-like?

When you install OOo (version 2.2.1-3), some of the output in the termial says
use "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde" or
use "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" to preset your desired look,
or put it in /etc/profile, rc.local, or ~/.bashrc.
I have tried copying the line "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" (without quotes) to my /etc/profile. Nothing changed, still looks like stock OOo.
Then tried to open soffice using info from the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenOffice#Setup
# OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome soffice
Again, no change. When soffice opens, it is the stock OOo appearance.
Tried adding "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" (no quotes) into~.bashrc as noted in the wiki. Did not work, still stock OOo appearance.
Searching the our forums, Google, and the Arch wiki has yet to give me a clue. Looked at the 2.2.1-3 PKGBUILD, GTK switch is set to 'enable'.
I tried Abiword, it looks (as it should) Gnome-like. I would use but it is giving me problems with envelopes that the Abiword mail list has yet to be able to help. I know you can get OOo to look Gnome-like, you can see it in this screen shot:

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

I might be wrong but I believe you want export OOO FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome...NOT OOO_FORCE_DES... (remove the '_' between OOO and FORCE.) Thats what I have and looks fine to me.

How do I get Openoffice to integrate into Gnome like KDE

Just installed gnome and all its goodies and I'm taking some time to learn it as I've always been a KDE fanboy... but felt that KDE was way too bloated....
Anyways... I removed and reran setup thinking that since gnome wasn't installed before that that was why it wasn't showing up in the gnome applications menu...
Alas no such luck... a new session or a reboot doesn't fix the problem either.
I'll be damned if i'm going to make launcher's by hand for every Openoffice file as well as manually set up file associations. Is the package broken? Or am I doing something wrong with Gnome?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
James

The open office installer is supposed to have a gnome integration setting... just like the KDE one. Basically I just want it to add to the gnome menu and set up the file associations...
I see there no package for the Ximian or I just don't know where to find it... I'll go search the forum (i'm not trying to be lazy here... )
Thanks for the reply...

How do you get iWeb to look at a different folder?

I have two versions of my site (one slightly more updated than the other) on my hd, and want to point iweb to the newer one. I know how to point iweb to where it will be pulishing TO, as in godaddy, or my dropbox or whatever. But how do I change the folder it is publishing FROM, the folder that holds the site materials.
thanks!

How do you get black to look "dark black" when converting to PDF?

Some times when I convert my document to a PDF, the blacks show more as a grey. Sometimes ill see both gray and actual black on the same PDF. I know this has something to do with the "appearance of black" in the prefernaces but I cannot figure out what the proper settings are for this.

Well, Appereance of Black has sure something to do with that but it´s not the whole truth. If you are making RGB or Grayscale PDF, and you have your Print/Export Appereance of Black set as Rich Black, InDesign converts all your K100 Blacks to Rich Black. That doesn´t happen if you target Color Space (in PDF export or printing) is CMYK.
You can do that manually too, also for CMYK PDFs. Simply create new swatch, for instance C30, M0, Y0, K100 or if you want even deeper black, use C30, M30, Y30, K100. All the elements you color with this new swatch will be darker.
I wouldnt use that kind of rich black for text for printed documents, at least if text is small size. InDesign doesn´t overprint by default any other black than regular K100 black. And there might be some convergence issues too.

How do you get CJC Voltages from more then one 1102/1303 module

I tried using the channel array as follows:
ob0 ! sc1 ! md1 ! cjtemp
ob0 ! sc1 ! md2 ! cjtemp
ob0 ! sc1 ! md1 ! 0:30
ob0 ! sc1 ! md2 ! 0:30
I get an error after AI START is run (Error: AI Control -10370).
The other thing i tried was to put the cjtemp for module 2 after the channel list for module 1 such that it would scan the modules sequentially, the program runs but seems to ignore the second cjtemp command.

Hello Eric,
I think you mentioned the correct way to make this work. You need to group the cjtemp of each module with the other channels of that module. I did this with a setup of my own, and everything worked fine. Is it possible that the second cjtemp was just immediately overlayed by other channels and appeared not to be there?
If this is still an issue for you, please explain what you mean by 'ignore the second cjtemp command'.
Thank you,

How do you get fonts to look normal after upgrade to snow leopard

fuzzy or blurred on both imac and external acer 24 inch monitor.
anyone know how to get them back to normal?

I was having the problem of fuzzy fonts in Terminal (which I use a lot, being a UNIX guy). I use 14 pt Bold Courier New a lot, and it was fuzzy after my SL upgrade on a 21" iMac (2 Ghz dual core). I finally discovered the "antialias text" button in the Terminal preferences. In my case it was turned on for all of my terminals that had fuzzy fonts. I unclicked this button in all of my terminal preferences, and voila, clear fonts again.

In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store

In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store. It would appear that I can only get Genius recommendations from my own library. This was easy in iTunes 10 and enabled me to find lots of good artists I had never heard of.

I have this same question and all I have found on it is this,
http://ipod.about.com/od/advanceditunesuse/ss/genius_store.htm
Basically it seams they got rid of the whole side bar concept of things to make it all more streamline, understandable but I know atleast for myself that genius sugestion for any song is how I found new artists and songs I never knew existed.
If you go to the Album the go to "In the Store" it will give you a recomendation for that album... not exaclty what you might be looking for but atleast its something, if anyone else has a way to get genius sugestions for individual songs I am all ears and would love to hear about it.

How do you get your photos in to different photo albums?

How do you get your photos into different photo albums on a i phone 4

If you are willing to manage your photos in iPhoto and transfer the albums you create in iPhoto to your iPhone (using iTunes), I think you will find that an easy solution is available.
In iPhoto, locate the image that you want to insert into an album (or albums); for example, you may locate the image in an event, or it may be in one or more "Faces" categories, or it may already be in an album, etc. Then, drag the image into any album. Repeat to insert the image into other albums.
I may have misunderstood your question, or the above may not provide what you're looking for, so post again if need be.

I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

I have downloaded video to iPhotos but how do you get the video to iMovies

In iMovie look in the Event Library. You should see an Event named "iPhoto Videos" (assuming the videos are compatible with iMovie).
Each time you open iMovie it will look for any new videos in iPhoto and place thumbnails in the iPhoto Videos Event. You will be given a choice as to whether you want the thumbnails generated now or later. The thumbnails will appear in chronological (date) order in the Event window. Note that the clips themselves are not actually imported to iMovie - they are simply referenced by iMovie (that is, iMovie points to the clips in iPhoto).
Drag clips (or parts of clips) to a project. To start a new project, select File > New Project from iMovie's menu.
Please ask if you need more advice. Otherwise, click on Help > iMovie Help in the menu. There you will find plenty of good information about how to use iMovie, including short video tutorials.

ITunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username. How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

iTunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username. How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,
