Description Mihai Vasiliu 2026-01-28 20:27:36 UTC
Description:
In the Appearance options, there are two customization colors that are called:
- Disabled text color
- Disabled color

The names are mismatched and confusing.

The Disabled color actually applies to the TEXT color and to the Buttons margins.

The Disabled text color seems to not affect anything

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Tools -> Options -> Appearance
2. Enable application theming
3. Set Disabled text color to RED
4. Set Disabled color to BLUE
5. Apply and restart LO

Actual Results:
Notice that the disabled text is BLUE instead of RED and also the button margins are BLUE
The disabled text color is never to be seen anywhere.

Expected Results:
The disabled text color should be RED, not blue and the button margin color should not change.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
My suggestion would be to ditch the "disabled color" if it is really not used and make sue the "disabled text color" applies to the text color and NOT to the button margins.
