Created attachment 178484 [details] dark theme light icons Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.16.10-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 LO does not respect system theme, if I set global theme to Breeze Dark, Autodetect for icons (Options->LibreOffice->View->Icon style) correctly detects style as Breeze (dark), but if I change the Icons theme in Plasma settings to anything else, for example Papirus or Papirus-Dark, LO will now incorrectly assume Breeze theme(not dark). This results in a bad OOB experience, as can be seen in the attachment, where LO is using dark theme against icons that were made for a light theme(so dark icons). Maybe using org.freedesktop.appearance.color-scheme value and setting the icon theme accordingly could be a better approach? https://blogs.gnome.org/alexm/2021/10/04/dark-style-preference/
We do follow the system theme (and operating system) for the automatic icon theme selection. On Windows it is "Colibre", for Plasma5 (KDE) and LXQt "Breeze", Gnome, Mate, Unity use "Elementary", and macOS "Sukapura". We also correctly detect whether Breeze (light) or Breeze dark is configured and pick the default icon theme accordingly. However, the LibreOffice icon themes define some thousands of additional icons that are not part of the system's icon theme. All icons are hand-crafted by volunteers to match the system theme as best as possible but are not officially part of it. And we just do not have Papirus available. => NAB By the way, some icon themes are not shipped by default but can be installed per extension, for example Yaru matches well Ubuntu. Take a look at https://extensions.libreoffice.org/?Tags%5B%5D=109. And of course you are very welcome to create and share a Papirus theme for LibreOffice.
Created attachment 178500 [details] breeze (dark) I do not think that is the case, the icons are there and work fine, even when Papirus is selected by the system, the autodetect just does not work. Here is a screenshot of Breeze (dark) when manually selected. Icons work fine, it's just the autodetect that is broken.
True, "Breeze dark" is chosen as matching to the icon not the desktop theme. If you rename it to Papirus is would be the default in your case. In other words: if an installed LibreOffice icon theme name matches the system icon theme this will be used. Otherwise the desktop theme decides about the default.
In that case, if the system theme is dark, and the icon theme is unsupported(Papirus), shouldn't LO default to a dark icon theme?
We don't check whether the system theme is dark. And even in this case we only have Breeze and Sifr in dark variants. Rizal, what's your take on this?

I support the idea of system wide dark detection, but currently there are many hindrances here since LibreOffice is a multiplatform/multi-OS application. How LibreOffice with its VCL library could integrate with Windows/macOS/Linux/FreeDesktop system wide dark mode? If the solution has been already there so we can talk further about supporting icon theme dark/light variant in many OSes. That's why some icon themes does not have dark variant. But to be honest, current dark detection implementation is broken (or at least in my setup). The icon theme does not change automatically when I choose dark theme in my KDE desktop with Breeze, the icon then did not change to Breeze dark, even after restarting the application. Even under Safe Mode. User expect seamless experience.

(In reply to Rizal Muttaqin from comment #6) > But to be honest, current dark detection implementation is broken... Bug 127138 "Breeze dark system theme should enable Breeze dark icons" is about this. Works for me (and as commented before, the icons follow the theme _name_ otherwise the desktop default with Plasma5 = Breeze). Then we have bug 124966 "svg icon theme color scheme support" with the idea to invert the icon colors (or identify the color to invert) so a theme works on both bright and dark themes.
