Description Mihai Vasiliu 2025-06-25 06:27:43 UTC
Description:
The theme extensions available online that were initially published for LO 25.2 and then updated to 25.8 can be installed in LO 25.2, but the wrong incompoatible version is installed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice
2. Go to Tools->Options->Appearance
3. Install a new theme, say Office 2003 Blue (see that you are offered the 25.8 version instead of the older compatible 25.2 version -> see screenshot)
4. Select the theme and restart.

Actual Results:
Theme is applied but nothing is themed because the theme is not compatible. User has no way of knowing that it is an incompatibility issue as he is not warned about it.

Expected Results:
LO should have installed the older compabile version instead of the latest one. See screenshot from website. Instead it installed the latest version which is incompatible


Reproducible: Always

Confirmed.

With a >= 25.8 Appearance theme applied, all color for Customizations lb take fallback default 'Automatic' (as passed in from os/DE?).

No warnings.
