Description Glucose 2025-08-10 19:00:17 UTC
Description:
When using dark background and when the police color is set to automatic, the resulting police is usually white. In the diagrams, the police remains white all along the editing but turns to black when the editing is over.
I tried several settings but could not get rid of it (and my eyes don't like white backgrounds anymore).
The problem exists for quite a long time but I don't know in which version it appeared. My running version is 
Version: 25.2.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 03d19516eb2e1dd5d4ccd751a0d6f35f35e08022
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); UI: fr-FR
Calc: threaded

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a new calc document and fill it
2.create a diagram and edit the settings
3.that's it.

Actual Results:
black police on dark background : can't read.

Expected Results:
white police


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
I stated version 25.2.00.3 as a starting point but it was earlier. I didn't record it.
I tried several different settings with no help.
I looked around in bugzilla and other forums but no post like this (one on Math but quite different) and no convenient answer.
I tried in safe mode : same pb.

Please test changing between Light/Dark in
Menu>Tools>Options>LibreOffice>Appearance

Hello.
Thanks  m_a_riosv for answering. I already tried this setting but when Appearance is set to Light sheets and diagrams backgrounds become white which is what I want to avoid. 
Note that police both in cells and in diagram are black when Appearance is set to Light.
