It's missing an option to disable dark mode. It follows automatically the system settings which is good. But not all people like it.
It should have an option to enable/disable it.

Enable dark mode
Disable dark mode
Use system settings

It is the behaviour available in a lot of softwares like in OnlyOffice for example.

Dark mode under Windows 11

It's very beautiful and icons are lacking of contrast, making the dark mode not really usable. Unfortunately, it cannot be deactivated …

Your attachment 185115 [details] is concerning.  Assume this is a launch of LO 7.5.0.3 build. The Colibre icon theme shown is not its Dark mode icon theme. That should only happen if you have made an icon theme selection of "Colibre" set in your user profile (Tools -> Options -> View ). The default automatic mode should show "Automatic (Colibre (Dark))"

But it could be a Windows 11 annoyance.  We need to know.

Please clear your user profile (via Help -> Restart in Safemode..., or simply delete/rename %APPDATA%/LibreOffice) and launch with defaults.

Also, it would be helpful if you could install in parallel and test a current master against the 7.6 build as additional Dark theme mode handling proceeds.

@M-Rick, the attached screen clip shows current master against LO 7.6.0 behavior on Win10 Custom color theme control selection of App theme Light or Dark

Win11 should perform similar. Aside from request of bug 153229, please let us know if Win11 is mishandling the UI theme.

Clean install and default profile, current master against 7.6.0 testing on Win11.

There are no issues with LibreOffice color theme and icon toggle responding to os/DE theme changes of App color theme mode.
