LIBREOFFICE CALC

Change the background colour of comments

When you leave a comment on a spreadsheet in LibreOffice Calc, you’ll notice the background is set to a pale yellow by default (‘Accent 5, 80% Lighter’). Version 7.6 of LibreOffice adds a setting that lets you change this to another colour

Click ‘Tools’ in the toolbar, then Options. When in our screenshot below). Then, in the main window, scroll down until you see ‘Notes background ’, under Spreadsheet. Click the button to the right, which shows Automatic by default, then pick a new colour – we chose lilac (‘Followed Hyperlink, 80% Lighter’) . To confirm, click Apply, then OK. Our comment changed its background colour to reflect our choice.
