If any programmer would like to look into this, it would be great. For the moment under 
Linux (at least Ubuntu) switching the Gnome UI to  Dark mode causes OpenOffice to switch 
to High Contrast (if the Accessibility option "Automatically detect high contrast 
mode of operating system" is enabled, which is the default)
We could change the default, but would that help?

On Windows, I never managed to get AOO use a dark UI. I could only
enable HC mode and then AOO switches accordingly.
Yes, the problem needs to be solved properly and the solution is not the same 
under Windows and Linux.
In any case the current High Contrast icon theme is also a "quick and dirty" 
solution which doesn't work on a light background...
High Contrast was initially dark UI. But Microsoft added some new themes
in Windows. So now we also have a white HC theme.
Yes, I had not tried that before! Unfortunately it does not work for AOO 
because there is only one HC mode and so everything is HC white except for AOO 
which is HC black :)

In any case, there are quite a few inconsistencies regarding HC mode. I 
particularly don't like that it also inverts the AOO and Apache logos!

These are simply graphics. If you have a better solution just commit them, e.g. here:

https://github.com/apache/openoffice/blob/trunk/main/default_images/framework/res/backing_hc.png

That would be the goal. But honestly, we have more important things on
our list.

Adding a new icon set is (technically) easy when we have the icons. But
users will never see them if we cannot release it.
I fully agree!

Can we (all) agree on a progress plan?

Yes, a Roadmap for 2024 (and beyond) would be great!

Most of my plans are on hold until we have a solution for releasing 4.2.0.

All the best,
Pedro
