Description MGA0447 2025-06-02 14:30:55 UTC
Description:
If the user account is in dark mode (Black), the characters of some cells (not all) are black and therefore we don't see them. To see them, you have to put the police in white. But if you want to print, you can't see anything because it's white on white.

Actual Results:
Each time a file is opened, calc or writer

Expected Results:
Each time a file is opened, calc or writer


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
If the user goes back to clear mode, everything is correct again

I found the solution

No, it's not the theme that you have to change, but in appearance, you have to go to customization, scroll down to font color and set it to white

Menu>Tools>Options>LibreOffice>Appearance>Customization>elements>font color>color>white

I think it should be simpler than when setting up LibreOffice, we are
looking for system customization to apply it to LibreOffice
