Bug ID: 164497
Summary: Confusing UX for light/dark settings - need to be all
in one place
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I downloaded LibreOffice_25.2.0.1_Win_x86-64 only to find myself somehow in
dark mode. Didn't like.
Went to Tools/Options/View and specifically selected an icon theme that did not
have (Dark) after the name, thinking that's all it would take to get off dark
mode.
Nada. It wasn't until I went to Copilot and asked where the setting was that I
learned system/light/dark was under Appearance.
Why?
Why?
Don't spread such inter-related options across multiple dialog UX's.
One-stop shopping for all light/dark options.
Steps to Reproduce:
See description above.
Actual Results:
Result was thinking the program was busted. Fix the UX.
Expected Results:
When I select a non-dark theme, the UX switches to a light theme. Completely
useless to have light icon theme on a dark background, but LO lets users do
that. You can't even discern the icons because they've blended with the
background.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
