Description: The current default color scheme looks very dated LibreOffice also abused a lot of gray tones that makes it look somewhat dated and not very functional, since many of its elements may be confused. For example: The table lines are confused with page boundaries, the grid, guides, field/index/tables shadings, etc. In other elements with the same color, it is confusing, such as automatic page break vs manual. Some related bugs are: Bug 87933 and Bug 85450 Steps to Reproduce: X Actual Results: Everything is very gray Expected Results: It adds a little color, modern look and usability of some elements of what is improved Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
Small changes are always needed but a new color scheme [1] is a full rebranding. Do you have a proposal? We also advertised a GSoC project to have Application Themes [2]. Although this idea serves a different purpose. Anyway, let's discuss this -> NEW.

I know, sorry but the point is that small changes have been made that are very good but contrast a lot with the classic colors of LibreOffice. I personally use a scheme based on Tango palette that works very well, but I am not a designer to do anything more than based on a preset color palette. On the other hand, there are elements that can not be customized by the user, such as the guides mentioned in the other bug. > We also advertised a GSoC project to have Application Themes [2].
