Bug ID: 152270
Summary: macOS: Dark Mode: change in System Settings >
Appearance Light | Dark should automatically switch
Application Colors
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: l...@disr.it
Description:
Users expect applications to automatically follow their system setting for
light | dark mode.
In LibreOffice > Settings > Application Colors > Color Scheme there are two
options:
LibreOfficeDev
LibreOfficeDev Dark
Adding a third (Automatic) option which follows system setting will ensure
users get the expected mdoe in LibreOffice on macOS.
Steps to Reproduce:
Change Light Dark mode in macOS System Settings.
Actual Results:
Application colors in LibreOffice won't follow that user selection. For dark
mode this means, users are greeted with a glaring white sheet when opening a
Text Document. This is a rather big issue for someone expected LibreOffice to
open in Dark Mode.
The fact that Application Colors is a very alien setting on macOS (I am not
aware of any other app using that terminology or mechanism, if anything you
will get themes) will make it hard for users to understand, they can actually
change that setting.
But why make users scratch their head, if following good defaults resolves the
issue and avoids additional user interaction, forcing them to fumble with
LibreOffice settings?
Expected Results:
LibreOffice should follow the user selection in macOS System Settings for dark
| light mode.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
