hello
I have enabled dark mode for my system but libre office still in light mode.
i googled it and they say go to
Tools > Options > LibreOfficeccc Application Colors > Scheme and from the drop-down I select LibreOffice Dark. but just the background, not the entire application. thank you
From LibreOffice, you can navigate to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Application Colors and set your own customizations.
Sadly, LibreOffice offers very little system-theme support. GTK Themes uses application designated classes to determine the appearance properties.
LibreOffice application code designates only the most basic classes.
So ....
I recently upgraded from Zorin17 to Zorin18 (by doing a clean install, the update util totally crushed things when i upgraded to 17 and had to clean install anyway)
In zorin17 (or previously) i spent a lot of time researching and eventually found a way to get a proper dark mode in libre (it included finding a 'hidden' menu and switching to a different base frame (minimilist or something) and then the dark options stopped showing stupid blinding white paper and killing eyes when using the software. (iirc)
I have been trying to follow dark mode instructions to redo this and have found several instructions referring to 'application colors' and 'scheme' (wrt to libre 7+) however no such options are showing for me ..... did libre 25 change the options menu?
I have found nobody else mentioning a lack of application colors in the menu
What do you want to do? You can set a custom color for Document background at Customizations or you disable "Use white document background" to get a black one.
Look at ''Customizations''. You see there left the Option and right the Color Option. So, You can set up that individually.
i was hoping for a preset, much less frustrating for reinstalls etc
and i know that i did manage previously but thanks, any solution is better than none
unchecking 'use white document background' seems to be the easiest solution
You could try it with clicking on ''Reset All''.
