Created attachment 201510 [details] Writer window, Light, Standard UI (no separation) I'm using LO 26.2 with GTK3. There is no separation between the background area of the LO toolbar and the background of the main area of the window. This occurs both with Light and Dark themes, and is not module-specific (although in Calc, for example, we have the formula bar which serves as an effective separator, so the problem is quite minor). This does not happen with the Tabbed UI though - there's a background color difference. It also doesn't happen with QT5 as the VCL (although I only tested in Light; Dark doesn't seem to work with QT5). I will say that with QT5, the tabbed bar has both a different background color and a separator line (or even a separation which looks like a groove; I like that). Will add some screenshots to illustrate.

Cannot confirm with kf6, there is a slight difference in brightness between toolbar and application area. You may customize the appearance of the application background.

Ok, good. > You may customize the appearance of the application background. Yes, but I believe the default should be a separation in color between the background and the toolbars. This is not a vehement insistence, i.e. it's not terrible the way things are now, but I believe a separation in color would be better.
We use these colors as default in svtools/source/config/colorcfg.cxx { Color(0xDFDFDE), Color(0x333333) }, // APPBACKGROUND Maybe it accidentally matches your system theme color that is used for the toolbar/notebookbar.

The color I see, for both the background and toolbar background, is: 0xF6F5F4 for Light, and 0x353535 for Dark Anyway, my desktop environment is Cinnamon 6.4.10, with the default color scheme. I have also not played with the LO colors.
The situation is unclear and requires further insight from developers. The hard-coded application background should be different from the window color - and is at least on Windows with a bright theme and Linux/kf6 with a dark theme.
