Screenshot on Ubuntu 16.04: Dark is activated, Gray is selected

The new 6 fields with predefined/preinstalled Firefox themes are really cool. Thanks for your work, Muhammet Kara.

I tested on Ubuntu 16.04. Maybe on Windows/MacOS it's better.

It should be more obvious which preinstalled theme is activated and which is selected by mouse/keyboard. At minimum a thicker border around the activated theme should be visible, similar to selected color/gradient/etc. in the paragraph area fill dialog. The "selected" color can also be thicker.

STR:
1 Open LibreOffice and go to Tools > Options...> LibreOffice[Dev] > Personalization.
2. Click at the preinstalled theme "Dark" and at "Apply".
3. Click at the preinstalled theme "Gray".

Actual result:
There is no visual indication which theme is activated after step 2.
Only a very small, bad visible colored border is drawn around the theme after step 3.

Expected result:
Obvious indication which theme is activated just now.
More obvious indication which color is selected (but not activated) by mouse/keyboard.

This is fixable by drawing the button “sunken”, as it is done in Start Center.

This is theme-dependent (IOW, “not our bug”). Why don’t you drop Ambiance for Yaru? 😊
Comment 2 Heiko Tietze 2018-10-24 10:15:06 UTC
How about an icon overlay in the thumbnail for the installed theme? Could be a checkmark or something else.

Activated (used) theme is still not visible in the Personalization section of the Options dialog.

An icon overlay is a possible solution.

Dear Thomas Lendo,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
