Got some feedback from the Design Members, changing the UI according to that. Once that's decided upon, I will push the help page patch.

Created attachment 202742 [details]
Tools -> Options -> Appearance panel(s) wef. 25.8.1 and 26.2.0

Published 25.8 as 'Appearance' article:

https://help.libreoffice.org/25.8/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01012000.html?DbPAR=SHARED

And as preview of the 26.2 article:

https://help.libreoffice.org/26.2/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01012000.html?DbPAR=SHARED

Though both probably need some additional content now for the 'User white document background' override at 25.8, and the 26.2 feature for dialog Tab positioning layouts as 'Vertical' or 'Horizontal'.

And maybe some guidance of need to restart to fully refresh when applying a theme?

See attached.
