Description David L. Davis 2022-09-28 20:06:05 UTC
Description:
After upgrading from LibreOffice v7.3.4 to v7.4.1.2, I couldn't see the black text well, which should have turned white since Windows was in the "Dark" color Theme. I changed the color Theme to "Light" in order to use the program for now...but it would be great if I could return to "Dark" mode. Because it is a lot easier on the eyes. :) Grateful to anyone who can correct this issue. Thanks so much!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to the "Dark" theme mode. Setting->Personalization->Colors->"Choose your color" pulldown{Light, Dark, Custom}
2. Start LibreOffice, or if already opened the current LibreOffice App (I was using "Writer") then use the "File" pulldown list. The Black text remains black and very hard to see...should have switched to a white text.
3. 

Actual Results:
Put this information in the above "Steps to Reproduce" listbox. 

Expected Results:
Switching to the "Dark" color theme should change the menu pulldown text to white, and not remain black.


Reproducible: Always

LibreOffice 7.4 started supporting dark mode on Windows, but it's still an experimental feature.

Here are some information on how to enable it:

Let me know if it worked

Hi Rafel Lima, thanks for the quick reply.

Using the "Tools->LibreOffice->Advanced" selection and Checking the Checkbox "Enable experimental feature (may be unstable)" while the Windows' "Dark" mode was enabled worked beautifully! This did indeed change LibreOffice v7.4.x UI into dark mode exactly the way I needed.

Thanks again so very much!
GOD Bless

Hi David... I'm glad to hear that it worked.

I'm closing this as NAB.
