I'm trying to edit documents with a dark colors scheme. However, many documents aren't readable with this colors scheme and I need to switch back to an other colors scheme. I would like a feature which memorize into the user environment the colors scheme to be used for each document. This choice wouldn't be stored into the document. I'm already using this feature with Firefox and its Dark Reader extension. I'm deactivating the feature only for the web sites that aren't readable with the color transformation that Dark Reader does. The next time I'm visiting again a web site, the extension apply the choice I made during my last visit.
Thanks for the report. I understand you are talking about Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Application Colors? You want the scheme to automatically switch from e.g. Dark to Light depending on what was last used with a specific file? I feel like this is going too far and a switch that's easy to access is the way to go instead (bug 160349) - now that the Application Colours usually follow the UI's dark mode (bug 152184). Also, it might mean the document themselves could be improved in using formatting more consistently (i.e. fixing the colours instead of relying on automatic colours, and/or by using document themes). UX/Design team, do you agree this is a "won't fix"? (And Jérôme, please also test with a currently maintained version, preferably 24.2, as there has been many dark mode / theme improvements since 7.4)

I still need to physically print my documents on a white paper. However, I want to edit the content using a dark background for the document. Perhaps some sort of "edit" mode will allow me to concentrate on the content and finally use the "preview" mode to check the appearance before printing.

The key point is that I read document which were written by other persons. So, I would like to switch between several color schemes depending the document I'm reading. Imagine I'm reviewing one document and sending modifications to the author (without changing the colour scheme he choosed). If I'm juggling between documents from several sources in the same day, I would appreciate if LibreOffice would memorize the colours scheme I already used for a each document.
-1, agree with the => WF

The newly introduced Dark Mode command switches between Automatic = Dark and Light. The dark automatic colors are just on the display effective, your printout will be with white background. You can define own color schemes under tools > options > application colors. Again, as long the paragraph/character and page formatting is set to automatic (picking up either light/dark or what you define in the mentioned option) is not changed you get a black-on-white printout. We read the request as "remember settings under tools > options > application colors" per document - and this makes no sense.
