Writer no longer overrides the displayed document background and font
colours with a Windows High Contrast Theme's colours. This is with
LibreOffice v4.1.2.3 installed on Windows 7 SP1 x64.

Previous versions of LibreOffice Writer (4.0 and below) correctly
override the background and font colours of any document with those set
in a Windows High Contrast colour theme. In LibreOffice 4.1 this is no
longer the case. I have tested an older version of LibreOffice Writer,
v3.5.5.3, and this version does indeed override the document background
and font colours as expected with those from the theme.

This functionality is very important for me, as I have a light
sensitivity problem with my vision called Visual Stress or Meares-Irlen
Syndrome, which means (in my case) I need a black background and a very
specific font colour (RGB value) in order to read comfortably. In
Windows I use a High Contrast colour theme with these colours, and most
windows applications honour them.

LibreOffice settings:
Under Options-LibreOffice-Accessibility under "Options for High Contrast 
appearance" - I have all the options ticked.

Under Options-LibreOffice-Appearance-Custom Colors

- version v4.1.2.3: Automatic document background colour is "white" - 
(seriously bad for people with Visual Stress/Mearles-Irlen Syndome). It should 
be "black" as per my High Contrast theme background.
- version v3.5.5.3: Automatic document background colour is "black" as 
expected, as per my Windows High Contrast theme.

- version v4.1.2.3: Automatic document font colour is "black". It should
be the colour as per my High Contrast theme's font colour (mine is a
specific green RGB value which needs to be precise. None of the custom
colours in the drop down list fulfill my needs).

- version v3.5.5.3: Automatic document font colour is the same as from
my Windows High Contrast theme.

To test this, set Windows 7 to High Contrast mode through the Ease of
Access Centre and select either high contrast themes #1 or #2 (I have my
own custom high contrast colour theme set up, but those will suffice for
the test). Then start up LibreOffice Writer 4.1 and you will see that
even with all the Accessibilty options for High Contrast ticked, all
documents still have a white background and black text. Try again with
Writer v3.5.5.3 and it will honour the High Contrast Theme's colours by
overriding the displayed document colours with them.

Please fix this very important accessibility bug for folk with visual
impairments e.g. visual stress or mearles-irlen syndrome where colour is
very important.

Thanks

Yes, this does look like a potential duplicate. But since bug 64842 was filed 
against Ubuntu and not Windows, I wouldn't be sure that the fix for that one 
would fix the similar problem on windows. The offending code for each OS may be 
slightly different.

I've read the comment for change
Ia42ca7882f0d2dd1f2a304db5e4b5aaba23244fc. This change introduces a
serious accessibility flaw for folk with a vision disability. I can no
longer use later versions of LibreOffice because of this. As a developer
myself, I would have said that a better fix for the problem would have
been to correctly detect when Open Office / LibreOffice has been set to
work in accessibility mode and when so, for the displayed document
colours to inherit from the underlying high-contrast theme accordingly.
When LibreOffice is not in set in accessibility mode, then by all means
default to other more appropriate display colours for the document.

It appears the developer of the patch may misunderstand why (at least in
Windows) the High-Contrast themes exist and how visually impaired people
like myself benefit from them.

Various partially sighted or blind people and folk with other visual
impairments benefit from a custom text foreground and page background
colours. Setting the host OS to a high-contrast accessibility theme
should trigger all applications to inherit that theme. There are of
course some offending applications in Windows that don't this, but most
do. Open Office / LibreOffice has been particularly good at this in the
past - and has been especially useful to people with a vision disability
with it's ability to adapt to document display colours accordingly when
accessibility is set to on (this is now broken). This has been singly
the biggest winning feature for which why I choose
OpenOffice/LibreOffice over Word.

I suffer from a light sensitivity disorder called Visual Stress for
which white / light backgrounds on paper and computer screens cause
considerable discomfort and migraines. This disorder affects 15 - 20
percent of the population at varied levels of severity from very mild to
extreme. Is is also known as Meares-Irlen Syndrome or just Irlen
Syndrome. Colour is of extreme importance for these people to be able to
see and read comfortably. We rely on high-contrast OS themes to get
around the problem to some extent. White background documents and UIs
cause these people a multitude of debilitating symptoms including
migraines, not being able to think straight, loss of some co-ordination,
irritability, nausea and quite a few others - different for each
individual.

Please honour high-contrast themes in Windows. They are there for a
reason.

In sort, please restore LibreOffice's ability to adhere a document's
displayed colours to the underlying high-contrast theme, when the
applicable accessibility settings have been set in the application's
preferences.

@bfoman: Thanks for the heads up on those mailing lists. I wasn't aware
of the UX-Advice and Accessibility mailing lists. I will most likely
post to them in due course. UI developers need to be aware of these
accessibility issues for visually impaired users.

Default UI colours are fine, as long as two things are taken into
consideration.

1. Enabling overriding UI colours with the underlying Accessibility
theme of the host operating system, if one is active. LibreOffice has
done this well in the past. Now it is broken in this respect.

2. Enabling visually impaired users to customise to UI look and colours
as much as possible. In the specific case of visual stress/irlen
syndrome, being able to customise colours (especially background and
text colours) to precise RGB values is very important.

Hard coding a white background in a UI is one of the worst things a UI
developer can do for those with Visual Stress.

Question: When did the behavior change?

We could try bibisecting on GNU/Linux, but only if the high-contrast
theme detection worked there as well. Nicciglen -- Do you know?

Ultimately, IMHO what we really need is a dark theme no-accessibility

Agreed. I'm not sure we can automatically determine correct LibreOffice
behavior based on the colors of the desktop theme.

I'm not sure what you mean. The simplest solution in my mind would be to
have an (accessibility) option "Use/inherit colors from desktop theme".

Thanks for looking into fixing this bug.

HOWEVER please NOTE: When a11y HC mode is detected, *both* the text
colour and background colour need to be pulled from underlying OS theme.

A high-contrast theme - doesn't necessarily need to have a dark
background. It can have any background colour or text colour combination
that a partially sighted user finds easier to see. It could be say
bright orange background with black text.

The point is that Windows (and I'm sure Linux) can have several high-
contrast themes, where the background colour can be anything and the
foreground colour can be anything that is beneficial for the partially
sighted user.

In summary, as long as you are pulling *both* the background and
foreground colours from the OS a11y theme, when an OS high-contrast
theme is detected - then you are restoring the functionality that
LibreOffice / Open Office have had for a very long time.

(PS. Yes, high-contrast themes may look ugly to non-a11y users, but they
are a life-changing enabler for people with various vision problems)

I can't pinpoint exactly, but in my original bug description I noted the
version where the problem occurs, and a previous version where the
problem doesn't occur. So it was introduced (on Windows) somewhere after
v3.5.5.3 up to and including 4.0.

Thanks for the heads up in

about the icons being hard set. I'd toggled the setting recently
following a Accessibility ML session, and couldn't revert. It is
simplest to clear per-user profile to get back to default icons.

Not so sure it is creep. As @nicciglen mentioned in the OP, for A11Y the
requirement is for high contrast (HC) between background and foreground.
So with background settings no longer automatic--if the foreground color
'automatic' selection happens to pick a low contrast color pair, the
document will be unreadable by those needing HC asssitive technology.

Best case would be pick up both OS background and foreground colors as
set by OS in HC mode. But at a minimum would need to set a HC foreground
color complementary to what ever background color is being set. Can the
background color algorithm be adjusted to select a complementary
foreground color?
