7.5.5.2 dark mode scheme

Screenshot

In the Options/Preferences, in "LibreOffice > Application Colors", if the color scheme is "Automatic" with "System Theme", Writer (and other applications, like Calc) will automatically change the color scheme when the operating system switches to dark theme mode.

This mostly works, except hyperlinks in contents, that are still rendered with their traditional dark-blue and dark-red colors (see attached screenshot).

Instead, they should use lighter colors specific to the dark theme. Firefox's "Reader" mode does this, for example (it uses a lighter blue for hyperlinks when in dark mode).

This should affect only on-screen rendering, not printing or PDF export.

7.5.5.2 dark mode scheme

Reproduced in 24.2. 

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 676e0527d2f31556eccae314fbb12ce204f02ec7
CPU threads: 6; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Interestingly in 7.5.5.2, if you select "LibreOffice Dark" scheme, the visited/unvisited link colors automatically still default to dark blue/red. However, some good color suggestions are provided, though you still have to manually check the checkboxes next to them and apply the changes.
