Omg I love you guys! So.. I have had issues with detection of dark mode for AOO for.. Quite some time. Even though I tested the new releases, I reverted to an old build that detected dark mode automatically. I have installed the recent RC, and just started living with a bright grey window..
But.. On Debian 13, installation of libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-0, which was missing on my system, now allows AOO to display in glorious dark mode!! :-D Someone want me to send them a Christmas present?
