Description: Default and Academic table style should use automatic font color, not black. Black makes it illegible in dark application color schemes. This can be an accessibility issue. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set dark color theme (Options > LibreOffice > Application Colors) to make "Document Background" dark gray 2. Create a table using "Default Table Style" 3. Enter some text in the table Actual Results: Text unreadable because the font color (set as black) is similar to the dark gray document color Expected Results: Text should by default be using "automatic" as font color Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.6.4.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 60(Build:1) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+wayland) Locale: en-GB (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US 7.6.4-2 Calc: threaded
Table styles "Financial" and "Elegant" also display this problem.
Can't confirm with Version: 24.2.0.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: b4d45829793cddfe67b58a53f495528c75738d8a CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded If I choose LibreOffice Dark color settings are "automatic" by default. Background is black and font color is white.
Reproduced for both Default Table Style and Academic in: Version: 7.6.4.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e19e193f88cd6c0525a17fb7a176ed8e6a3e2aa1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 24.2.0.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: b1fd3a6f0759c6f806568e15c957f97194bbec8f CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Also true for the top and bottom rows of Elegant, alternating inside rows of Box List variants, all but the top row of Financial... All font in the stock table styles should be automatic, really. @Dieter, did you actually use the table style called "Default Table Style" in Table > Insert Table? (Using "None" does use a sensible default font colour.)
repro 26.2+ In OOo 3.3 the "default" style had shading on the top and bottom rows, and there was no academic style. Marking as affecting 6.0 since this is when the default style changed to not having any background - at which point the font should have become automatic. commit 0ba318b895c164750dc3c7bac6948b04b606f2b8 Author: Yousuf Philips on Mon Nov 6 18:14:55 2017 +0400 tdf#107554 New default table style Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/44363 Proposed fix at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/192510
