Description: With an autofilter, when a filter was set, the arrow on the filter used to be a different colour. Now there’s just a small dot. It makes it hard to see at a glance which columns are filtered. Could you reintroduce the colour change as well as the dot please? Steps to Reproduce: Create an autofilter, filter one of the columns. Actual Results: There's a dot on the filtered column Expected Results: The arrow on the filter should also turn to a different colour, as it used to. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I believe this changed with the last overhaul of the UI
Where (in what version of LibreOffice) do you see color arrow as indication of autofilter?
Yes we'd need to know the OS and Desktop environment as icon assigned to "check box" and "radio button" symbols can differ quit a bit between desktop environments. For Windows OS builds the icon for the rolldown symbol (black downward triangle) have been colored at least since 5.3 builds.

Created attachment 152449 [details] Difference between auto filter on/off I was wrong. When a filter is set, it is coloured, but to my eyes, dark blue and black look the same. Can it be made obvious, eg black and red? Or colour the whole box, not just the arrow? Windows 7 Professional 64
PS I'm sure it used to be more obvious I've attached a screenshot
Created attachment 152733 [details] Screenshot from 3.3.0 Here's what it looked like in 3.3.0 on Windows, I wouldn't say the dot was any more obvious. Nevertheless, it could be more obvious, eg in Excel it looks like this (see section "How to apply filter in Excel"): https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2016/08/31/excel-filter-add-use-remove/
Actually, there's already a bug report on this, let me set this as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 89841 ***
