Description: Several UI components seem to be hard coded for a black background, which causes problems when using a light-colored theme with a black/dark foreground. The UI elements I found include a black active text area on the ruler bars in Writer and Draw; the "Custom Colors" pane in Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Application Colors (ironically); a small box in the "Caption Order" pain in Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> AutoCaption; multiple fields in various plugins' options; the "Select a Template" dialog in Impress; the left-hand navigation pane in the basic LibreOffice app; the formula bar in Calc; and the current tab in Calc. These are just the ones I noticed right off. There are probably others. Additionally, there are two panes in the Math main window that are black with white foreground, but these are legible and not really a problem. This seems to only affect the Linux version. I am using XFCE 4.16 with the Materia-light-compact theme on Arch. Both LibreOffice Fresh and LibreOffice Still show the bug. It happens with pretty much all light colored themes I've tried. Using a dark theme in XFCE seems to fix the black on black issue, but only because it changes the foreground colors to white/light gray. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Using XFCE with a light theme, open LibreOffice Writer. 2. Look at the ruler. 3. Open the Application Colors settings in the Options dialog. 4. Look at the "Custom Colors" pane. Actual Results: Black on black in the ruler and in the "Custom Colors" pane. Expected Results: Black on white/gray/some other light color based on theme in the ruler and Custom Colors pane.

From my original report: "This seems to only affect the Linux version." Thus, if you're trying to debug this problem in Windows, you will fail miserably as it doesn't happen in Windows.
Can you please confirm if this problem persists? I cannot reproduce it using LO 7.4.2.
