Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode

Please paste here the information on Menu/Help/About LibreOffice (There is an icon to copy)

There are a lot of problems with the palette "Document colors". See the bugs listed in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85521#c8 and bug 107380 as Meta bug.

I see that highlight colors are not included in the palette and that shapes line and fill colors are missing.

The description uses the wording "don't appear anymore". @Juergen, can you name a version where it had worked?

I guess, that it never worked. In that case this report is duplicate to one of the others mentioned above.

Operating in Safe Mode unfortunately doesn't solve the problem. The effect is the same.

@Regina: As far as I can remember the last version where it worked properly was 24.8.6

The Document Colors theme is empty in Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e24aa1d0f692cb6d64c00353356b0731e9afbadc

The Document Colors theme has the font color and the character background color in Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: aaf2967d74a9a7ba2d28433e1872422ce38b6244
CPU threads: 32; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Both tested using a text document.

So this problem is new compared to the already known problems with Document Colors theme.
