Created attachment 124127 [details] Screenshot of the left side of the options dialog showing the tree Opening the options of LibreOffice, Writer, etc. while having switched on high-contrast-mode and chosen high-contrast-#1 theme, the clickable areas in front of the nodes of the tree on the left of the options dialog are invisible (seemingly black on black). Thus the expandable nodes are difficult to identify.
By judging the screenshot, this appears to be a problem only in non-modern versions of Windows (since Windows 8, high-contrast themes have been rewritten and use DWM, just like the regular, default Windows visual styles).
Yes - Windows 8+ did change a lot to the good in things of accessibility and high-contrast usage! But the installation base of Windows 7 is still huge in relation to Windows 8 and the raising Windows 10. So - no matter how old Windows 7 is, the fact, that a hardcoded color is used to render the clickable node-collapse/expand boxes in the tree points out a bug, since the application or system theming should determine the color to be used!

I tested with LibreOffice version 5.4.2.2 and the tree in the options window gets rendered correctly in high-contrast mode. BTW testing in high-contrast on Windows is not that difficult. The hotkey LeftAlt+LeftShift+PrintScr is normally enabled and toggles the high-contrast-mode with its default or last used high-contrast theme/design.
Excellent - one less accessibility issue!
