Created attachment 90448 [details] Scrrenshot with 'Appearance' dialogs of 3.6.2.2 amd 4.1.3 side by side showing different 'Autoatic' colour settings. Problem description: The colours used when the 'Automatic' setting is selected for custom UI components' cplours are not based on the current system (window manager) scheme. Steps to reproduce: 1. Tools/Options/Libre Office/Appearance 2. When 'Automatic' (default) is selected for UI components in 'Custom colors', the colours for Document background and Font Color are white and black respectively. They do not match the current system scheme. Current behavior: 'Automatic' colours for document background and font are white and black, respectively. Expected behavior: They should match the window and text colours from the system wide colour scheme in use, which may be different from white and black. This is particularly visible when a dark colour scheme like 'XFCE dawn' is used for the window manager - see attachment (3.6.2.2 displays the right colours). Versions in-between 3.6.2.2 and 4.1.3 were not tested! System: Xubuntu 12.10 with xfce 4.10. This is particularly visible with Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.1.3.2 release
Might not be related, but please see, if you have this setting enabled by accident: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Accessibility#Automatically_detect_high_contrast_mode_of_operating_system Also, does this happen with the latest stable?
Ok, I confirmed the problem by testing it myself, installing https://github.com/vkuzel/Xfce-darkness on Scientific Linux 7 64-bit, Xfce 4.10. If anyone else wants to test: copy the gtk-2.0 folder to ~/.themes/xfce-darkness/ and select the theme from the Xfce settings. The problem is not related to the automatic high contrast setting in LibO. However, the problem is already present in 3.6.2.2 for me, but maybe there is something I don't understand. 4.5 alpha shows black panel UI colors otherwise like in the screenshot, but 3.6.2.2 does not. Thus, I don't dare to add a bibisectRequest. I think this is not isolated to Xfce, so testing with dark themes on other DEs is appreciated.
