Description: The new version (25.x) has messed up the background colors of documents. If I try to change that in Preferences, the Preferences are not readable because the typeface is now white on a white background. Steps to Reproduce: Just open a word document in the newly installed version 25. Every background color is different - and not in a pleasant way. Actual Results: Just open a word document in the newly installed version 25. Expected Results: I do not need background colors to look exactly like they used to in version 24, but this looks just terrible. (Resetting user profile to factory settings does not make any difference.) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Have been using LO for many years and never had an issue. Why does this have to look so user-unfriendly? I can't imagine any user will like it and like to work with it.

You look to have toggled the Appearance theme panel for 'Automatic' theme from 'System' to 'Light'. At the moment, best to download and enable one of the Appearance themes (the mustard download star). That will apply a set of colors that should be functional with any of the three RB settings 'System' (following os/DE) 'Light' or 'Dark' Getting back to default Automatic theme can be done, but is fiddley. Simplest to delete your user profile. @Heiko, @Sahil your both up on macOS systems at this point. Any issues for you applying and manipulating the Appearance theme extensions, or of the default Automatic theme responding to Light|Dark or System reported color theming?
Well I planned to buy one at the end of this month, but guess that would be too late. I will get one by tomorrow max, then will push some patches to remedy the situation.

(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #2) > You look to have toggled the Appearance theme panel for 'Automatic' theme > from 'System' to 'Light'. I can reproduce this. If the Appearance preference is set to System, all the colors are readable (I tested both system light and dark modes). Only when the Appearance preference is set to the opposite of the system setting does the bug occur: Version: 25.2.0.3 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e1cf4a87eb02d755bce1a01209907ea5ddc8f069 CPU threads: 8; OS: macOS 15.3; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-CA (en_CA.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #2) > Getting back to default Automatic theme can be done, but is fiddley. > Simplest to delete your user profile. I can confirm that quitting LibreOffice and then deleting my LibreOffice preferences folder will restore LibreOffice to a readable state although you will be stuck using whatever light or dark mode your Mac is set to. For any other users that are experiencing this bug, use the following steps to delete your LibreOffice preferences folder: 1. Quit LibreOffice 2. Go to the Finder and select the Go > Go to Folder menu item 3. Paste the following path in the dialog that appears and press the Enter key: ~/Library/Application Support/LibreOffice 4. There should be a subfolder in the above folder named "4". Move that folder to the Trash. 5. Restart LibreOffice

Same problem here. I thought it had something to do with all the themes disappearing but seems like it’s a bigger bug. I’ve reverted to the last version of 24 to correct it.
