--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
Joel,

Agree that the sidebar feature does not render well in high contrast themes.
But, this should probably be --resolved not our bug--.

The entire sidebar has not gone through any LibreOffice UX review. Its port
from IBM Symphony was done into GTK+ by only a couple of active Apache
OpenOffice project developers--followed by a pretty robust QA cycle when the
branch was merged with trunk. 

I doubt very much if any review of artwork and Icons for high contrast themes
has been undertaken as devs are still working out basic GUI function, similar
to the ongoing issues with the a LibreOffice Template Manager GUI

A very active meta bug for ongoing Sidebar development is available on the
Apache OpenOffice bugzilla portal at
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121420

Caolán is staying on top of the AOO commits being done, so the LibreOffice
master/4.2.0alpha builds are current, with the LODev4.1.0beta1+ getting updates
as well.  So both will offer functional experimental "preview" of the sidebar.
Something for the QA team to discuss is if we should put any resources toward
this effort--see my item in Nabble QA.

But over at AOO, Andre is having some issues with focus the GTK widgets for the
GUI, I don't know if there is a LO dev in a position to lend a hand, but if
folks want to help the feedback needs to be going to the primary
developers/maintainers. I'd encourage anyone with some extra time to spin up
/Admin or parallel installations of Apache OpenOffice and contribute feedback
against that.  I say that because I think we are some time away from doing any
substantive rework of the sidebar in LibreOffice--if ever--depending on ESC and
UX-advisory positions to use it or not.

Stuart
