Description: I am trying to use Dark Mode in LibreOffice. I have tried both system theme (which is currently set to dark mode) and dark mode within preferences > application colours. I have also tried manually choosing white text and black background colours. In all settings, and even after resetting the settings, I am getting a black background with black text and struggle to read my text documents. Additionally, some small sections of random text are white or blue. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Preferences > Applications > Dark Mode > Apply 2.Preferences > Applications > System Theme > Apply 3.Preferences > Applications > Reset > Apply Actual Results: Document still has dark background with black text and some random sections of white text. Expected Results: Background should be dark gray or black with white text throughout. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 24.2.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: da48488a73ddd66ea24cf16bbc4f7b9c08e9bea1 CPU threads: 10; OS: macOS 14.4; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Created attachment 193265 [details] Sample of dark mode bug This is a sample of what my text document looks like. Most text is black, some is white. All text should be white with a dark background.
I'm unable to get it back to normal with a white background and black text now. No matter what settings I choose, whether I reset the settings or not, I'm stuck with black background and black text with some white sections.
Hi Jayne, I'm using MacOS 14.1.2, and I was able to switch back from a black background to a white background. I'm also not getting the black text on a black background either, white text shows up on the black background and switches to black on a white background. These are the steps I used: 1. Create a new text file in Writer. 2. Go to LibreOffice->Application Colors-->Custom Colors. 3. Find "Automatic:" on the right, and select the dropdown. 4. Select "Light" and click "OK". It should show a white background and black text. It also seems like you're using an older stable build, here's the two builds I used: Stable Build Version: 24.2.1.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac CPU threads: 10; OS: macOS 14.1.2; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Master/Daily Build Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c4023d3ec604abfff38be2053e2989c7ec2ba8c1 CPU threads: 10; OS: macOS 14.1.2; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
