In the first place - sorry for my poor communication of this :-( I should have poked UX-advise in advance that I am poking this. There are actually 3 reasons: people love using their personalized pictures for backgrounds - I can see it everywhere. Photos of kids on the screens of mobile phones, desktop backgrounds etc. The other reason is that this has even enterprise use - I have a real customer who is unhappy with the look of the background behind the menu + toolbar. It is much easier to provide them with a way to tweak that than trying to find out a balance between their needs and needs of other customers - you will never do everyone happy. And the last thing - should you decide to change the background under the menu + toolbars, it will be as easy as drawing a new bitmap, instead of having to programaticaly change the look, which is not that fun with GDI functions :-) > If people are unhappy with how LibreOffice looks, we should probably > tweak the platform specific look until it is better.

Yes - people will be able to set something that it will do the app unusable; but hard to blame us for that, I think. Again - sorry for not communicating this in advance.
