Description: I'm running libre office on KDE. My theme system is Breeze Dark. Libre Office catches the colors, but icons are still from the white theme, almost invisible on dark background. Changing icon in settings help, but requires to know it's changeable at all. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Kubuntu with breeze dark 2. Open Libreoffice 3. Actual Results: See the icons black-on-dark-grey Expected Results: Icons are contrast to background Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
if you use the Default icon theme, the theme should switch between breeze and breeze-dark depend on the color theme the user use.
I confirm. This switch to breeze-dark did not happen to me on Kubuntu 19.04.
Ah, thanks. For anyone else looking, the icon theme can be changed in Options -> LibreOffice -> View -> Icon Style I'd only tried changing the theme, didn't know this was available. Maybe changing to a dark icon theme could be done automatically in the future? I notice it doesn't have this issue on other desktops like XFCE.
If I remember it correctly, some years ago in Ubuntu GNOME 2 era (I'm not sure it was OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice) after setting up High Contrast theme, this office suite switch to Galaxy inverted version. We could try to see the code.

I'm not sure if the 134733 bug is a duplicate of the 127138 (sorry if I'm wrong). If I understand, the bug 127138 is about the icons in LO (and it's solved in 7.0). In fact, I tested this in LO 7.0 (RC1) and when I change to breeze dark theme (Opensuse Tumbleweed) the icons looks like they should (white against dark background). But the fonts preview in the font name menu still illegible, the color of the displayed fonts (with preview, in Writer) is light grey and the color background is white ¿May be a Plasma problem? Thanks you all.

Just to clarify the current state of things: in LibreOffice 7.5.0.3, when the icon theme is set to "Automatic" and the toolbars are set to "Standard", it now switches between the elementary icon theme (in light mode) and the Breeze Dark icon theme (in dark mode). However, * It won't work if you have set an icon theme preference other than "Automatic", which is what the bug report here is about * It won't work if you use anything other than the Standard toolbar (bug #127583)

Generalising the summary, as this bug now catches both KDE and GNOME reports. Testing GNOME 3.36.8 + Wayland and a recent master build: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 082d009b6a156faa74c9966b0dffc5fa6ce22287 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded For both Yaru and Adwaita dark themes (I had to use GNOME Tweaks to have access to both), I used the following steps: 1. Desktop Environment theme is set to Dark 2. Open LO: icon theme is Elementary (unsuitable) 3. Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View > Appearance, change to "Dark": icon theme changes to Breeze (dark) (suitable) 4. Set Appearance setting back to "System" 5. Back in Desktop Environment's theme settings, switch back and forth between Light and Dark: no effect on the icon theme in LO. Tagging as accessibility issue as it makes many icons hard to see before discovering that one can manually switch to dark icon theme.
What’s the effect after commits 772328b386db4ab5a2b15e650610c31b34815c8c and e629abc924bd3589d98a85d361e94a55794861f1? (for 7.6.0/7.5.3)
Guillaume, I'm not sure how you can test this properly with GNOME 3.36.x, because on the GNOME side, the freedesktop dark mode was only implemented in GNOME 42 and newer, in the spring of 2022. This is not really about using Adwaita-dark or Yaru-dark anymore, that's the old way (which was pretty much impossible for applications to deal with, and I can't imagine LibreOffice handling this cleanly either). More details on how it works nowadays: https://blogs.gnome.org/alexm/2021/10/04/dark-style-preference/< https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Initiatives/-/wikis/Dark-Style-Preference Unless you're doing something _really_ special with your OS, you will need a much more recent OS to effectively test this (maybe in a VM or liveUSB or a spare computer or something).
Also, while I'm at it, I'll reuse my thoughts I had posted on #153618, so that they are not lost: The fact that the UI bothers the user with manually choosing from a long list of light or dark themes is nonsense from a UX standpoint in a world where themes are complete; ideally, to be approved for inclusion (and to remain) in LibreOffice from here on, icon themes should be required to have both light and dark variants; then the UI should hide this complexity from the user, by just letting the user pick "Automatic (%theme_name)" or picking a preferred complete icon theme (ex: "Breeze" or "Colibre") but not a specific icon theme subvariant (ex: no "Breeze" vs "Breeze Dark", only Breeze)... then the app would automatically pick the theme's light or dark icon theme variant depending on its UI light/dark theme state. Apparently the "Elementary" icon theme in LibreOffice doesn't have a dark variant at the moment; in #153618 I also stated my personal opinion that the "Colibre" icon theme is universally suitable & usable (in terms of UX), and could be a much better default than "Elementary" on the GTK version for Linux, even though Colibre is the official LibreOffice icon theme used mainly on Windows. It's just _that good_, in my view.
Fedora 38: LibreOffice: 7.5.2.2 Kernel: 6.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland It works, but only with the default toolbar. Kubuntu 23.04: KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 QT Version: 5.15.8 Kernel: 6.2 Graphics Platform: X11 LibreOffice: 7.5.2.2 It works, probably only with the default toolbar. Ubuntu 22.04: LibreOffice: 7.3.7.2 Ubuntu package: 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.2 GNOME: 42.5 Graphics Platform: Wayland The icons only change when the color is changing, and the theme (light/dark) is ignored. In my interpretation, the light/dark theme of LibreOffice doesn't work properly, and Ubuntu additionally uses a terrible hack where they always use the Yaru icon set on the default system color (orange), which looks good for the light theme but not so great for the dark theme.
Pyroxar, please don't update the Version field to more recent versions, as it's about the "earliest version known to be affected".

I think https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148764 is about this exactly (should be added as "related"?) I think this one (#127138) is not only GNOME/KDE specific as I just ran into this problem on macOS - I set the OS to switch to dark theme in the evening/night and having Sifr icon set (I like minimal icons) I got a dark icons contours on almost black toolbar.
Still the same for me in recent master build: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: eef0c5d4d45ba35acfb6d8f7551fe565ca4badaa CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Starting with GNOME's "dark" appearance: - On LO's "System" mode, does not use a dark variant automatically, sticks to default Elementary. - Changing LO to "Dark" does change the icon theme to Sifr (dark).

I am now using Ubuntu 22.04 + GNOME 42.9, and with GNOME 42's "proper" dark mode, the Automatic icon set does switch when changing the GNOME appearance mode between "Light" and "Dark" styles. (It uses Elementary and Sifr respectively.) Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1344e6261a1d856c71eca1e0cc29215a586bf335 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Which confirms what Jeff said in comment 18. Tested both Wayland and x11. Also works for the Tabbed interface now that bug 127583 is fixed. So I think it's either "works for me" or "won't fix" for GNOME users (with the recommendation to update to GNOME 42 or above). @Michael, do you think that's fair?

Yes, that sounds fair to me, closing as WORKSFORME, as requiring the required GNOME-side implementation seems reasonable to me.
