Description:
One day when I updated Libreoffice to 25.2, it now only opens in Dark Mode. Which if fine, that's what I set it to, but now the page is ALSO dark with white lettering as default, and that's not what I set it for. When I go to the options and search for the ability to change the mode like I used to, the option is completely gone. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and I've updated to the latest version.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Libreoffice
2.
3.

Actual Results:
I open Libreoffice, and it's automatically in Dark Mode with dark writing area.

Expected Results:
Maintained my setting to have the page background be white with black font as default, and give us the option of changing the modes.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Can't seem to copy that over.

At 25.2 you need to install the "Light Application Colors" theme extension, apply and restart. It is in the 25.2 release notes [1].

Additional theming rework in progress for 25.8 release.
