How can I integrate the design of LibreOffice 5.2.0.4 into Ubuntu Unity

Question

The latest update of LO to version 5.2.0.4 does no longer integrate into my Ubuntu Unity desktop.

What package do I need to install to re-integrate it?

Same issue here and looks like we need to wait for an update, I installed it from the ppa. No issues on Arch Gnome yet. — Arup Roy Chowdhury, Aug 10, 2016 at 16:19

You have to install libreoffice-gnome package via Synaptic.

I seem to be missing another package. Please have a look at my screenshot. Do you have any idea what package I am missing?

You can work-around by installing Libreoffice 5.2 via snap:

sudo snap install --channel=beta libreoffice

Then you can run it via

/snap/bin/libreoffice

I tried this, works fine.

Thanks! So, it's a problem that has been fixed in the latest Beta version?

Not really, snap is different way to get software - let's say standalone packages with all dependencies within. When you updated by adding libreoffice ppa and doing apt update, you were forced to uninstall libreoffice-gtk package (dependencies hell) and it is why LO looks like in times of Windows 95. IMHO it is almost always better to wait, than install something from PPA.
