Description: When changing the Application Colors, the background color of the input box in LibreOffice Calc doesn't change with the color of "Document Background"; Instead, it remains #ffffff regardless of wichever colors I select on Application Colors. If it did change with the color of Document Background, text (set with the color of #ffffff in Application Colors) would be readable. A similar problem occurrs with the sidebar (The background color doesn't change with that of Document Background, nor with any other value). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open LibreOffice 2. Create a new document in LibreOffice Math 3. Tools -> Options -> Application Colors -> Document Background: Set to #000000 4. Tools -> Options -> Application Colors -> Font Color: Set to #BDC3C7 5. Input text on the input box Actual Results: Inputted text is barely readable due to the background of the text-input box not changing (it stays #ffffff). Expected Results: Text should be clearly visible. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.0.1.2 (x64) Build ID: 7cbcfc562f6eb6708b5ff7d7397325de9e764452 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: es-AR (en_CA); UI: en-US Calc: CL
Created attachment 168271 [details] Screenshot of the hard to read text.
Do you mean Math or Calc? I can repro it in Math in Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: ecb916667b633f8647790e040226b093760e6cfe CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL
Yes, I meant LibreOffice Math. sorry for the confusion
So I changed the title if you don't mind
Actually the color used depends on the system colors. See: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/starmath/source/edit.cxx?r=6af64a35#104 Which is the expected behavior since this is not a document, but rather a text box which has pure text. So the color for this element depends on the color theme used in your system. IMO -> WF. But before closing, let's hear from the UX team.
fg/bg response to sytem colors now at 7.5 (experimental at 7.4) for dark mode support--never linked to application color for the "Document background". Additionally, the Tools -> Options -> Application Colors "Color Scheme" provides an alternative "LibreOffice Dark" theme--if the "automatic" colors drawn from os/DE provided colors in the "LibreOffice" color theme don't satisfy. And from either, user can modify and save their own preferred color theme. IMHO => INVALID for original ask, and => WFM with current handling at 7.5
Resolving WFM based on previous comments (see bug 118320). The elements pane uses always black font color whether it's a bright or dark background. Worth another ticket, if none exists yet.

I think that was fixed for bug 152392 with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/143745 and is correct for 7.5 and master against 7.6
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #8) > I think that was fixed for bug 152392... Verified, it's fixed in master.
