I have a couple of hours before I have to run ... soooooo!!!
Some can be re-sized quite nicely I think.

My compliments to falldown for the great banner!
VSIDO_Wall-9


VSIDO_world-map


VSIDO_World_Times


VSIDO_World_Times-2

Or use https://www.tineye.com/ with the clean ones to see if they can be found in different sizes - right now I don't have the time.  Busy day ahead!

Almost forgot the original one I made:
VSIDO_Community_Tree

Please Note:  None of these wallpapers are mine.  I found them on the web.
Love the one with the tree!  Using it now!!!  Another great 'grab' from Sector11...

I have to thank you too falldown.

I'm going to grab that and take it apart with toothpicks, then I'll grab my MIL's Singer and stitch it back together.  Who know, it might work!
And once Sector11 is done sewing, I'll try it on to see if fits me as well.  Love *borrowing* from you guys!!!

Logged into Xfce, my LO menus are also invisible.  Using the link above, I followed the suggestions but no joy.  I am hardly ever in Xfce anymore, so this isn't really an issue to me as it doesn't appear to be an issue in OB.  For an Xfce user though, I can see where they might consider this an annoyance.  I'm going to play around with the gtkrc file and see if I can come up with a fix.  Don't hold your breath anyone!  The file to fix (I think) is found at ~/.themes/SlicknesS/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Quote from: VastOneOK... I have 2 fixes, one definite and one a maybe.

First edit this ~/.themes/SlicknesS/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file do this

In gtkrc file at line 1256 (style "menu" section) change

bg[NORMAL] = "#d9d9d9"  (Or whatever is there)
to
bg[NORMAL] = "#000000" (I have also used #000001)

Second one is here and it appears this has been an issue for 5 years..  http://www.rebelzero.com/fixes/openofficeorg-dark-theme-workaround-with-ubuntu-804/8

I think it may be the second one needed to correct this

OK, heres the fix busprof's!  Took me and VastOne over an hour to figure this one out.  In the end it was pretty simple actually.  First, you have to go to your /home/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/.themes/SlicknesS/gtk-2.0.  Next find the file called gtkrc.  Open it with your favorite text editor.  Click on the find button and look for style "default".  In that section look for the following and make the appropriate changes as indicated below;

   fg[NORMAL]       = "#000000"
fg[ACTIVE]       = "#000000"
fg[PRELIGHT]     = "#000000"
fg[SELECTED]     = "#000000"
fg[INSENSITIVE]  = "#747474"


Change to the following;

   fg[NORMAL]       = "#FFFFFF"
fg[ACTIVE]       = "#FFFFFF"
fg[PRELIGHT]     = "#FFFFFF"
fg[SELECTED]     = "#FFFFFF"
fg[INSENSITIVE]  = "#747474"


Your LO menus should all be visible now.

Quote from: VastOneBe aware that with this fix makes tabs,windows and menus in other areas of Xfce4 washed out.  A good example is what it does to the Appearance menu system under Settings/Appearance

If I had to use LibreOffice in Xfce4, I would find another theme...

Using something like gcolor2, you can change a couple of those settings to fix that as well.  I just did and changed them to a very nice VSIDO blue!

What can I say if it goes perfectly?  I did a dd to a USB drive, rebooted, installed to sda8 (a testing partition).  Install took maybe 6 and a half minutes!!!  Then re-booted, opened up Wicd, added the wlan0 setting on the first Wicd screen, told it to "Display Notification status messages", clicked on the refresh, connected to my wireless, ran the post install script that automatically started when I logged in the first time.  That took 15 min 27 seconds for a total install time of appx 22 minutes!  VastOne, you've developed a real fine distro here!!!  Below are two scrots of the install.





Again, no issues at all.  What I'd call a perfect install experience.  Anyone could do this!!!  VSIDO Rocks...
