the big issue

I just downloaded the latest version 7.5.0.3 and have to download 7.4.5.1 again because (see attachment) there was no way for me to be able to get light mode working so it does not use the stupid dark mode which was forced to use with this new version

And there is no easy option to just select the clean white version, which was usable...

please, I can't download any new version of yours unless you fix this..

i have Windows 10 with dark mode on and 150% dpi and 28inch screen with 4k resolution, as you can see, also the personalization selection did not fix the black layout..

i tried to find guides online for a fix but google can't find anything useful to fix this

You can of course control this from Windows 10/11 Settings -> Colors

Choose your color --> Select "Custom" 

Then leave Windows "Dark" at the "Choose your default Windows mode"

And set "Light" at the "Choose your default app mode"

LibreOffice will follow the App mode and display Light--Easy-peazy...

However, we have bug 153229 in works to selectively toggle LibreOffice to Light mode regardless of os/DE settings.
