Description RGB 2016-07-26 22:44:01 UTC
On Writer, go to Tools → Options → LibreOffice → Application colors and change the "Document background" to something different from default, let's say "Gray 1". This color should only apply "on screen" during edition and in fact if you export to PDF or go to the the Print dialogue, the page will be white. But if you activate the "Print preview" using the corresponding Standard toolbar button (or Ctrl-Shift-O) you'll see the page presented with the background color you choose for the *application*, which is wrong: print preview must display how the print output will be, not the editor display.

Problem still present in 7.1.4 (openSUSE Leap build) and 7.2.2 (vanilla build)
Comment 8 Timur 2022-02-01 15:34:01 UTC
Repro 7.4+ in Windows, so All OS is correct.
Comment 9 RGB 2022-08-07 15:38:08 UTC
This is also true when picking LibreOffice Dark theme in Tools → Options → Application Colors: what's shown in print preview is NOT what you'll get when printing. Tested with 7.3.5 & 7.4.0rc2.

Pressing Ctrl+P to open the Print dialog works as expected, with the white page background even when the document color is different.

However, the Print Preview (Ctrl+Shift+O) does not use the white paper color.

We could have a toggle in Print Preview so that the user can choose to "Use white background" during preview.
