Description Clarc 2025-11-28 15:33:04 UTC
Description:
When clicking on the "Reset All" button in the appearance settings, the current theme is rendered unusable. I have no Idea how to fix this.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install/use a dark theme
2. Go to Tools -> Options -> Libreoffice -> Appearance -> Customisations and click on "Reset All"
3. Your theme now is broken. It doesn't produce the desired colors anymore, even when switching back & forth between another theme and this one.

Actual Results:
The theme is broken.

Expected Results:
The theme should keep being usable.


Reproducible: Always

Are you only using os/DE color sense (Dark or Light) or have you "enabled" appearance themes?

Seems like this got some rework for 26.2 of a master nightly, maybe test with a current dev build.
Comment 3 Clarc 2025-12-03 20:10:15 UTC
I used one of the downloadable themes. (e.g. Office 2003 Blue).

I don't usually like to install nightly-versions, but I can try it out when that update comes around.

No real fuss:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

and grab a recent nightly build of 26.2 from:
https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html

You'll want the rpm or deb flavor, avoid the debug builds for this kind of testing. Also you should change the user profile for this dev build to isolate it from your working profile, follow the note in the Wiki for that.
