Bug ID: 153334
Summary: Support/default to a non-white background in Dark Mode
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
When your desktop environment is in Dark Mode, and so is LO's UI, it is hard on
the eyes to stare at a white page. And yet - that's what LO shows users. It
also sort of defeats the purpose of being in dark mode if the screen is mostly
not-dark.
So, it should be at least an option, or perhaps the default, for the background
of a page - Writer page, Draw drawing page, Calc spreadsheet - to not be white
when in Dark Mode.
I've stated this request with intentional vagueness, because there is more than
one way of having a "non-white background". One is a reverse palette
altogether: Black background, white text etc. Another is some mid-brightness
color, with text still being black. We could have white text and dark-gray
background, like Microsoft Word:

... or it could depend on how the GUI toolkit behaves in dark mode in other
contexts.
This issue has come up in context of the discussion of bug 153229.
