OpenOffice is beyond fixing. If they had any type of abstraction between UI and functionality (MVC mother&$*@!%, do you speak it?!) or libraries I might build off of those, but the codebase is pretty bad from what I understand. I get this information from a friend who wrote presentation software for GNOME after trying to use/fix OO.org. I don't have much more experience with OO.org than opening it and thinking "Wow, this shit sucks."

In my opinion, OO.org is the worst thing the open source movement has going for it. An office suite is the one thing almost everyone needs, and the leading open source implementation is terrible. I got all excited when I heard about this new project "LibreOffice", but then sad again when I realized it was just a fork of OO.org because Oracle blows.

Additionally, I'm not a computer scientist!

The blue in the screenshot has a lower luminosity than the gray on the website, meaning there is a *higher* contrast between the sides and the center. The center page on BYOND should seem less bright than the one in Word.
