Bug ID: 160187
Summary: The libreoffice base table view font color does not
adjust automatically to account for themes
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.5.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I use the dark theme in my Ubuntu desktop environment to avoid eye strain.
When I open a table in libreoffice base for data input or editing, the
background of the document is dark and the font is also dark.
I have tried changing the themes, icons, personalization, etc., in Tools >
Options .
While those options in the Options dialogue do change the fonts and document
backgrounds in places like Libreoffice Calc, they do not change the fonts and
document backgrounds in libreoffice Base.
There is a way to fix this problem, but you have to repeat this each time you
open the Table view for editing.
The fix is, in the Table edit view, on the left most portion of the window
(where the green arrow is that indicates which row is active, and also which
indicates primary keys with key icons), right click, click on Table Format >
Font Effects, and change the default text color to automatic.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Ubuntu with Dark Mode active Libreoffice Base, create a table and input
data
2. Reopen the table to view or edit the data itself
3. The font is black and the document background is black
4. Changing Libreoffice Tools > Options options does not have an effect
Actual Results:
Black font on dark background
Expected Results:
Font should follow the Libreoffice theme
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
