Screenshot of context menu

Context menu is almost unreadable as I use dark mode for Windows 11. The menu is black, as well as the options in it. I don't want to change the mode of my laptop as the light theme is too bright for my eyesight.

Attached you will find a screenshot.

Best regards,

Can not confirm. Not seeing an issue for menus/context menus with Windows 11 set to Dark mode and LibreOffice 7.4.1 installed with its "Experimental features" checked--to allow it to toggle to support for dark mode active.

Nor on current master against 7.5 where the Windows Dark mode support has been moved from experimental.

For OP, if you restart LO in safe mode (or rename your user profile %APPDATA%/LibreOffice) and then select Experimental Features to fully enable LibreOffice Dark mode support--do the context menus receive correct fg/bg coloring?

I was unable to duplicate the bug.

After restart context menu was fixed.
