Description:
On MacOS there are several UI-Bugs or bad UI-Decisions...

Starting with LibreOffice 7.4 or 7.5 (don't remember correctly) the Formula Bar in Calc isn't white anymore, the now used light-gray does not set well - can this changed back to white or as a user-definied option? (on Windows the Formula Bar is still white)

The Selection Color in Calc is still the old inverted scheme, although now the new MacOS-System-Colors are partially (see next sentence) supported now.

And some more inconsistencies about the used MacOS-System-Color and Selection-Colors in Menus (Calc & Writer), for example.

Please see attached screenshots - can this be fixed?

And one more Question, is native MacOS-Text-Selection-coloring possible?

Thanks =)

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:

Still white on Linux too with gen and gtk3 VCL plugins, so you'right, macOS-only.
Seems to have started in 7.6 then, because I see it white in 7.5 and grey in 24.2 alpha0+.

In my tests, the macOS highlight colour is more consistently used.
Can resetting you user profile to see if it has any effect? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
