Not clear why, but with no Color Theme installed, using the 'System'|'Light'|'Dark' radio buttons to select color theme is not restoring the os/DE provided colors when returning to the 'System' radio buttons (rb). Now no restart, and the 'Items' listbox in 'Customizations' goes inactive. Choosing either 'Light' or 'Dark' Appearance rb, then setting rb to 'System' and Themes still on "Automatic" setting: The 'Document background' is now "Black" not "Automatic" but also apparently the 'Font color' also "Black" rather than "Automatic". Seems like we have a state where we don't restore colors back to os/DE provided colors for the "Automatic" theme and 'System' DE. Colors are set, but should roll back to "Automatic". Noticed also, that any change to the Theme would require a restart, but no similar restart without a color theme and just "Automatic". Issue may be a simple as forcing the restart, without a color theme set, when just the change is made between the 'System'|'Light'|'Dark' radio buttons? And, even with a color theme (Lime Theme) installed, changing the theme back to the Automatic lb entry--the Appearance options and Customization items don't restore the color values from os/DE. The Items lb remains inactive but the showing "Document bacground" shows Dark with a 'Black' color swatch. Can't see the 'Font color' item--but either automatic or black we get black or black on the document. =-testing-= Version: 25.2.0.1.0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 468d47bdf44a772e989a0adbeb5bb097e3cb4f31 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
The radio buttons control what flavor of colors is used: light or dark. If you overwrite some item it happens for this variant, meaning you don't change the background for the light variant if dark is chosen. In order to reset some value you need to pick the right radio button and change the item to automatic. NAB?

Seems resolved with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/179406 against a 25.8 release https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/924c7de80afa47a93705e5d073c35f2d81f4ed5a Though some lingering issues with the 'Automatic' color values are being passed back in from os/DE for some of the widgets, notably scroll-bars in os/DE 'Light' color mode, or when the 'Light' RB mode.
