Problem description: Win7 comes with a high contrast desktop theme called "contrast white" (black on white) for visually impaired people. If this setting is selected most of the buttons (in the non-depressed state) in the button bar are invisible (probably white on white) until hovered over with the mouse pointer. This is a serious shortcoming for the visually impaired as they cannot use LibreOffice with the desktop theme designed for them. Steps to reproduce: 1. select Win7 desktop theme "contrast white" (black on white) 2. start any LibreOffice application Current behavior: Most buttons (in the non-depressed state) in the button bar are invisible (white on white). Expected behavior: All buttons should be visible. Platform (if different from the browser): any Win7, perhaps other versions of Windows with similar desktop themes (I am not reporting from the affected computer.) Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 ()
Reproducible in 3.5.2 on Windows 7 32 bit only in LibreOffice starting window. When we select some document, then all looks correctly. Windows 7 switches to High Contrast by pressing Alt-Shift-PrtScreen combination. When we switch to High Contrast, LibreOffice switches to High Contrast icon theme. But when we disable High Contrast in Windows, LibreOffice not switches to previous icon theme again.
