dark theme and elementary in gtk3
the issue is not only that the color of bold, italic, ... icons is to dark, that can be fixed with an additional dark elementary icon theme), the issue is also that the "grayed out" commands like cut, copy, ... didn't work as well.
If LibO want to have dark theme support, than I suggest that
1. the "grayed out" commands will work nicely
2. an automatic dark theme will be used from the selected icon theme
It is not useful that the user can select between elementary, elementary_dark and elementary_svg. as the svg theme support is not in an proper shape, I recommend to make an elementary icon theme (.png) and if you select an dark gtk3 theme, LibO will use elementary_dark as elementary_dark (or any other dark theme) fallback to elementary, the icon designer ONLY have to add the black elementary icons to elementary_dark.
that will give the user the second best solution (1st solution will be svg support), but there you also need an color scheme support).
Don't like the idea of duplicate styles for every flavor. Dark themes just don't fit Elementary and we have plenty (okay: some) alternatives like Breeze_Dark (which IMHO shouldn't be just an inverted icon theme but distinct and respectively named). What we also can do is to adjust colors programatically (works only with SVG). But still I think it's too much trouble. What if I complain about badly readable icons in my pink system theme? Ship also Breeze, Sifr, Elementary in green variations? Admittedly, that's goes a bit too far as dark themes are popular. There is already an color scheme support bug and when svg icons can be used, color scheme support will be available. So you can use than also pink fluffy theme.
