System: Libre Office for Windows 25.8.2.2 on Windows 11, German version Bug: If display contrast is modified for disabled users in Windows 11 system configurations, Libre Office Writer will not colour graphic symbols like squares, circles, ellipses and the like, but leave them monochrome. Best seb
Confirmed the default behavior when Win11 WDM is running with a os/DE "Contrast theme". LibreOffice follows os/DE theme and accessibility (flattened UI colors) suppressing color use on document canvas. However, the LibreOffice options panel Tools -> Options -> Accessibility has a droplist for 'High Contrast' that allows you to disable HC mode impact on the LO document canvas. It defaults to Automatic, so follows the contrast mode reported by the WDM, change to Disabled to block HC response. Works as designed. IMHO => NAB =-testing-= Version: 25.8.3.2 (X86_64) Build ID: 8ca8d55c161d602844f5428fa4b58097424e324e CPU threads: 28; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26200); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 620(Build:0) CPU threads: 28; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26200); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded

See also tdf#164471. @seb: Can you verify that works as expected?
Cannot verify. The user who reported the issue is an 81 year old visually disabled, unable to reproduce his former setting :) N.b.: Colouring and highlighting of text worked as usual. => The default setting referred to might be reconsidered, since the (dis)function in question is supposed to make it easier for visually disabled, not more complicated.
