How do you get that screen "Libreoffice wizard"?
Did you try profile reset? 
What your OpenGL status and did you try to change it?
Maybe not related, but please update to LO 6.3.3.
Comment 3 ricky.tigg 2019-11-11 07:58:02 UTC
Open document, close it – User Profile Reset: yes – OpenGL status: not enabled, not used, not modified.

Application names' characters exhibited in low contrast

Issue, which was observable in full screen mode, is no longer observable in Version: 6.3.3.2.0+; Build ID: 6.3.3.2-2.fc31; CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US; Calc: threaded.

Issue is though yet observable when window is reduced according to its vertical axis; see libreoffice_wizard_v 6.3.3.2.0+.png.
Comment 9 Buovjaga 2020-04-26 15:49:18 UTC
So this only happens with a dark theme?
Comment 10 Timur 2020-09-18 06:42:45 UTC
Please respond and test master LO from https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html or sometimes older https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html.
Comment 11 ricky.tigg 2020-09-23 09:24:05 UTC
Think "Help us to help us"; you then need to provide a proper link; a one to portable file. Otherwise your "please" are no help.

Comment 14 Buovjaga 2020-09-23 13:32:50 UTC
I can't test, because I don't have GNOME and for some reason a dark theme under KDE Plasma has no effect on the left-hand sidebar of Start Center

screenshot of start center in LO 7.3 alpha0+

I could not reproduce with a recent daily build of master, on Ubuntu 20.04, GNOME 3.36 with dark theme on:

Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 1dd4a80fa076bedb3a82821517036bad8dd79857
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2021-07-26_22:41:19
Calc: threaded

The contrast issue in the table tooltip described by orzun in comment 17 should be reported separately, to make sure we focus on specific issues.

Start Center | Null contrast of some characters and the background

Version: 7.1.5.2; Build ID: 10(Build:2); CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: fi-FI; Calc: threaded

On that partial snapshot from an English locale system all looks fine. Here  is a complete snapshot LO_7.1.5.2_ Start Center_Finnish_locale.png in the above mentionned locale; at the bottom of the pillar you can  observe "Libre" alone which then illustrates a partial display due to null contrast of some characters and the background.
