In LO 25.2, the 'Application Colors' properties were merged into a new "Color Scheme" property. Now it is no longer possible to (temporarily) set a single color (e.g. the color of table or section boundaries) in the "Automatic" color scheme. Such is needed when inspecting foreign documents. I now need to first create an own color scheme. That is tedious because it does not take the colors from the "Automatic" scheme as default. Possible solutions: (a) Allow changes to the "Automatic" scheme as in LO 24.8. (b) Use the colors from "Automatic" as default in an own color scheme.

Expected. But anticipated that users download and use one of the offered Appearance extension .oxt. You can modify as you like, with the Lime Theme (DemoTheme.oxt) is pretty functional with a full Light/Dark assignment. Biggest annoyance to tweaking is the RGB color stanzas are decimal rather than hex. Meanwhile, ability to make changes to the default Automatic theme and apply with forced restart is in place for 25.8 release.
Rafael created a nice macro to automate theme creation.

I was trying to use it yesterday, ran into some errors, talking with Rafael to get those fixed. Will try to get it out soon, maybe with a Design blog. I will share the current version here.
