Description Jeff Fortin Tam 2024-03-11 21:58:09 UTC
Description:
In the Options/Preferences, in "LibreOffice > Application Colors", if the color scheme is "Automatic" with "System Theme", Writer (and other applications, like Calc) will automatically change the color scheme when the operating system switches to dark theme mode.

This mostly works, except spelling (grammar and syntax) in contents, that are still rendered with their traditional dark-red (and sometimes dark green) colors, instead of adapting them for dark mode (see attached video showing the issue with the red spelling underlining problem).

Instead, they should use lighter colors specific to the dark theme. Similar issue to #158032 (hyperlinks) and #151981 (fields backgrounds).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write poorly
2. Enable automatic spellchecking
3. Switch to dark theme

Actual Results:
Dark red (or dark green) on black is barely visible.

Expected Results:
Lighter colors for increased contrast.


Reproducible: Always
