Description: While using LibreOffice in dark mode with VCL gen UI, the document is shown in dark, but UI widgets are drawn the same as light mode. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run LibreOffice in gen mode. You can use: $ SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice24.2 --writer 2. In "Tools > Options > Application Colors" choose "Dark" and then press "OK". Actual Results: Document content is shown in dark, but UI widgets are shown in light. Expected Results: UI widgets should also be shown in dark. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 24.2.2.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d56cc158d8a96260b836f100ef4b4ef25d6f1a01 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.2; UI render: default; VCL: x11 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
There is no "Appearance" section in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View, so it looks deliberate that there is no support. I think this is where it's hidden depending on VCL plugin: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/cui/source/options/optgdlg.cxx#622 The icon theme does not switch either if my desktop environment is in dark mode. Even if I switch the Application Colors scheme to "Automatic - System theme", the document background remains white. (In reply to Hossein from comment #0) > 2.

I see the same, but I don't agree it's expected that the UI would follow the Application Colors scheme (as opposed to the other way around).

Caolán, seeing that gen was excluded from getting the switch in f7c03364e24da285ea95cea0cc688a7a120fc163 for bug 153229, what's your opinion?
I don't see this as relevant. gen is a fallback UI that normal users shouldn't see. Then it would not provide value for testers to add this.
