Description: Default color for table borders (in Writer and Calc at least) in dark mode should be white Steps to Reproduce: 0. Enable the dark mode for document using Tools-Options-LibreOffice-Appearance dialog (select LibreOfficeDark scheme there) 1. Open Writer 2. Insert a table 3. Select all table 4. Enable all table borders 5. Look at the table => the table borders color is black and you don't see the table on black page background at all the same problem is in Calc: when you enable table borders they are black and you don't see it on black background of the sheet ps: we don't have Auto color variant for table borders color... Actual Results: Default color for table borders in dark mode is black Expected Results: Default color for table borders in dark mode is white Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c3bd52f81bf733a0b9b0560794a54b2ac1e0f444 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: ru-RU Calc: threaded
But note what happens if you clear the 'Line Arrangement' for the table removing the Borders (from the Table Properties dialog, or the Table toolbar, where they default to "Black"). You'll see that the layout marking boundaries *DO* correctly fg/bg toggle to be visible with the LibreOffice Dark color scheme's "Dark Gray 3" value for the 'Document background' and "Automatic" for the 'Table boundaries' On creation of a new Table object its Borders are WYSIWYG "printable" default value "Black". It can be changed, but the color is not a UI value and we probably don't want its value to change to follow the UI. So the disconnect seems to be not having a 'Table Borders' color distinct from 'Table boundaries' exposed in Application colors, to be able to theme the UI and respond to UI fg/bg tests, or to be set explicitly from a UI Color scheme.
Point is that the border color misses an Automatic color and adding it either without style or using some table style applies a black color. Now I wonder how easy it is to add Automatic to the color options. Mike, Caolan: got a code pointer at hand?
This may be the same as bug 148675, Automatic table boundaries does not work as it does not exist.

But we should point to Stuart's valid comment regarding printability. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 148675 ***
