Description: When selecting the "Style" separator line in the insert (and edit) menu of the columns section, the color of the lines in the drop-down list is set to the value set in the "Color" item. This leads to the fact that with a dark system theme, the color of the line is initially almost invisible to the user, and can also be set to a value corresponding to the background, due to which the line will not be visible at all. It might be worth changing the current behavior in the "Style" drop-down list: keep the original color for lines, moving the preview somewhere else, or update the background color on which it is drawn to a sufficiently contrasting one along with the line color? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Writer 2. Go to the menu "Insert" - "Section..." - "Columns" 3. For the "Columns" counter, set the value to 2 or more 4. Open the "Style" drop-down list and choose any line 5. In the "Color" field, select a line color value that matches the background color Actual Results: With the dark theme, the black color of the lines is initially difficult to see on a dark gray background. The line color value can be set to a value that will completely blend in with the background color and make it difficult to select the desired line type. Expected Results: The line type in the "Style" list can always be distinguished, regardless of the selected color and OS or LO theme Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Repro with: Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 38a4d3f0b095f70deaf1c25617b5f8b378f31626 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Exists at least in: Version: 6.0.0.1 Build ID: d2bec56d7865f05a1003dc88449f2b0fdd85309a CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.6; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8); Calc:CL

The control is in Page Style > Columns, and in fact it uses the color below. We could treat black as automatic and use either white or black depending on the app background color.
