Read the source. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/149059

Work will roll with a nightly in a day or so, test then or roll your own.

Heiko, with assistance, resolved the issue here as he indicated in comment 17,
though he probably should have notated the commit with both BZ issues and left
this issue open.

The AC System will follow system theming, including 'night mode', wile it
provides the requested ability to Set both UI and AC from one location--Tools
-> Options -> View.

This bug should not be resolved as bug 152184 is about a generic dark mode
through a configuration selection for Dark, Light and Follow System.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152184

This bug is about the default canvas colour and providing a way to easily
select dark or light instances.

I have set the status to "REOPENED" if I am incorrect in this status selection
then please feel free to set to "Resolved" once again.

"the default page background in dark mode is: a _dark_ page background"

Of course :)

Thanks for pointing at that documentation. While it doesn't indicate any
conclusions, it certainly is valuable input and food for thought. I never
understood the idea behind offering dark mode and then presenting a screaming
white page at 3 am in the morning to make users fall of their chairs, but
that's just me.

*moved from bug#152184 comment 15*

FYI, just for info, maybe it might help to orientate and maybe follow the same
way, because it's not bad and has proved its worth:


Microsoft Support document: Dark Mode in Word – Word for Microsoft 365, Word
for Microsoft 365 for Mac, Word 2021
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dark-mode-in-word-e17b79a3-762f-4280-a81c-a15a859a693a#ID0EDD=MacOS

Incl. what and how to change the settings to change/adjust the defaults.
Sidenote (see screenshots and text in the document): for example, among other
things: the default page background in dark mode is: a _dark_ page background,
not a white one per default.


Dark Mode in Word offers a dark color scheme for both the menu controls and the
document background. Dark Mode can help to reduce eye strain and also provides
a more modern feel to Word. The dark page background does not convey how your
document will print, or the default view your collaborators will see when they
open it.

…

Turn on Dark Mode

To turn on Dark Mode in the Word, you need to enable Dark Mode for Mac OS.

1. Go to Settings > General

2. In the Appearance options, select Dark

[Screenshot]

Alternatively, you can select Auto, which will switch between Light and Dark
modes based on your specified Night Shift schedule in MacOS.

[Screenshot]

3. To turn off Dark Mode, go to Word > Preferences > General > Personalize and
select Turn off Dark Mode 

[Screenshot]
inclusive this section:

Personalize
● Turn off Dark Mode
○ Dark mode has a dark page color
○ Dark mode has a white page color

…

Set the page background color

Once Dark Mode has been turned on, you can toggle between the dark and light
page background colors.

   1. In the ribbon, go to the View tab.

   2. Select Switch Modes to change the page background color. Word will
remember the state of this toggle for future Dark Mode sessions.

[Screenshot]


Disable the dark page background

You can disable the dark page background in Dark Mode and keep the page light.

Go to Word > Preferences > General > Personalize.

Select Dark Mode has a white page color.

[Screenshot]

Check the appearance

Regardless of your Dark Mode settings, your document will print with the light
mode page color. Also, your Dark Mode settings do not impact your
collaborators, and Word will respect individual view preferences. To preview
your document for printing and sharing, use the Switch Modes button to change
the page background to light.

While I filed the bug, I don't actually have a preference like I mentioned
before: I don't use dark mode, nor app colors, at all. So - whatever you do is
fine by me, although perhaps other CC list members have their own preferences.

Also, it may be useful to get in contact with desktop environment maintainers,
see what they would have liked.

--- Comment #17 from Heiko Tietze  ---
We discussed this topic in the design meeting.

The convincing argument to not resolve WF likewise bug 152184 is using the
night shift with the expectation that app colors (AC) follow.
The AC are a user-defined list filled from hard-coded values (some like
hyperlinks taken from the OS). Users can add schemes, modify colors, and delete
any. We cannot trust in the existence of any scheme and the proposal was to
remove AC in favor of hard-coded light and dark colors. (Nothing to say against
a customization in terms of personalization aka LibreOffice theme later.)

However, there are users who want to change the AC; the idea was to use the
shipped AC schemes despite the mentioned issues and just inform the user if
something is missing.

We could also separate the light/dark AC schemes, add an option to follow the
system color, and provide an option to use the user-defined AC. Wouldn't be a
simplification but an acceptable compromise.

--- Comment #16 from Heiko Tietze  ---
Before such automatic switch could be introduced, the whole application color
(AC) concept needs to become updated. Point is that the "LibreOffice Dark" AC
is just one random addition to the inbuilt automatic colors. You can remove the
set and create something completely different with the same name.

One solution is a second automatic value, aka hard-coded color for dark. And a
switch to change from light to dark. Easy to realize, however the current AC
concept has this feature to become enhanced (as it is done with the
"LibreOffice Dark" set). And in this case we do not have two colors for one
option.

We could remove the capability for change AC.

--- Comment #14 from Kristijan Tkalec  ---
My 2 cents:
I don't want to manually change the background color of the document on every
sunset. This is what automatic change of the theme (light → dark) should do.
At the moment I have to use some other app to write documents in the evening,
because I don't have time to go to settings and manually change the background
color of the document every evening. I just want to write.

I think it should be possible to set it to automatically change the background
color of the document as well. And there should be a choice for those, who like
the white background in the dark theme. Although I don't know why should that
person use dark theme in the first place. But that's just my opinion :)

And btw thanks for your work. We all appreciate it!

I agree with Heiko. IMO, LibO is starting to need a dialog that consolidates
some of these UI options in one place. Right now for an user to change the look
of LibO to its preference it's necessay to navigate so many different dialogs
that it becomes complicated.

What I could agree upon is to have the system and application color choice in
the UI chooser dialog. But I'm against any automatic switch similar to the
icons that need to be white on dark to be readable. The document canvas does
not _need_ to switch, however.

Interesting...

1. But, is such a default defined? Or is it just a custom for these apps?

2. Does such a definition exist on Windows, or with Linux GUI toolkits (GTK,
QT)?

Yeah, something easier-to-reach, even something like:

- View > User Interface

then have toggles:

- Light/Dark Mode
- Light/Dark page

- - -

Right now, it's spread across 3 different settings you have to tweak/adjust:

1. Icon Theme
2. LibreOffice Themes
3. Color Scheme
--- You have to choose "LibreOffice" or "LibreOffice Dark"
--- ... then adjust your "Document Background" + other colors.

... along with your:

4. OS's Light/Dark setting.

- - -

Perhaps most of this can be incorporated into:

- 1 menu with buttons/toggles/dropdowns.

You then:

- Choose your UI.
- See the thumbnail image update.

It looks how you want? Great!

Doesn't look how you want?

- Choose mix of settings until you are satisfied with thumbnail.
- Press OK.

- - -

I recently explained the 3 LO settings here:

-
https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/10sns6o/installed_75_is_it_supposed_to_look_like_this/j72wle0/

(That's just the latest answer I gave... but the Dark Mode
posts/complaints/confusion has been flooding in for ~6 months now.)

I think having a simple menu/option, like:

- View > User Interface

would save a ton of support time, plus be relatively intuitive.

"And I doubt - though I may be wrong - that page colors, as opposed to UI

Apple office apps (Pages, Numbers, ...) follow system default for canvas color.
And why not? If users opt for dark mode there is no reason to present a glaring
white page screaming at them at 3am in the morning.

I agree Heiko that would be very pragmatic as every user has their own
preference, but a real dialog that shows up and not just a tip of the day. 

Perhaps after this amount of time a brief first start "wizard" would be helpful
for users where a couple of simple questions are asked to set preferences such
as light/dark mode, UI chooser etc?

Something like this is by far the easiest way to handle this request. Microsoft
provided a good UI/UX option here. This should exist in both the dark and light
mode. Please do not hide something like this behind complex menu items as it is
an important aspect of using a dark mode particularly at night when a white
canvas is very straining on your eyes.

I do not consider the color of _pages_ of content as a part of an application's
UI theme. It's a different kind of setting. And I doubt - though I may be wrong
- that page colors, as opposed to UI element colors, are part of the "system
defaults".

PS - I don't really have a dog in this fight personally since I don't use Dark
Mode on my PC.
