Description Martin Lemburg 2016-02-20 20:10:17 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.109 Safari/537.36
Build Identifier: LibreOffice 5.1.0.3

I use due to eye disabilities the high-contrast-mode of Windows 7 Pro 64bit and have chosen the high-contrast-#1 theme.
The Writer still needs a change of the configuration to be fully high-contrast-mode compliant by changing the colors of the page, the application background and other colors, now after switching to a black background are incompatible in their contrast.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to high-contrast-mode or choose the a black high-contrast theme - e.g. high-contrast-#1
2. Start the writer
Actual Results:  
The UI is in high-contrast-mode - black background, yellow text, white borders and lines.
The page area is still white, the text black and the non-page area is light gray.

Expected Results:  
I expect the (none-)page area to be black, the text to be yellow, page borders to be white (with high-contrast-#1 theme).

Locale: de
Module: TextDocument

Having a contrast feature (or a dark themed UI) for Calc and Writer. This would be a life saver. +1 for the implementation of this feature. :)

Thanks for the amazing software you guys did. Really appreciate it.

Indeed page area and the window background doesn't change colors.

What I'm wondering about, how would it be possible to manage colors in documents accurately in this case? Might be an enhancement.

still an issue, current master/6.3.0 on Windows 10 Home 64-bit en-US, and new Windows dark mode DE is a complete mess (see also bug 118320)

This is now corrected for the 7.4 release (experimental) and by default at 7.5

Run on Windows 10 or Windows 11 LibreOffice automatic color values will follow closely the WDM desktop themes, including High Contrast (#1, #2, Black & White).
