--- Comment #7 from Libomark <[email protected]> --- At present the 25.2 updates are not the mainstream upgrades: users on 24.8 are still directed towards the latest version of that. Those who opt to try 25.2 are going to be more tech savvy, and maybe will find out how to live with the current problems and circumnavigate them. However, when upgrades point to 25.2 there will be large numbers of users who share the experience I had on upgrading and who will not know where to look to try to fix it, because they are not tech savvy enough. They will instead conclude that the software is broken, and they need to find a different suite. That is why this is a CRITICAL issue. If it cannot be properly solved and included in 25.2, then the feature needs to be rolled back until it is ready for prime time. It is not good enough to say it will be fixed in 6 months or so and ignore it. The presentation of it should leave work as it was unless a user opts to change it. There should be PROMINENT GUIDANCE on the consequences of doing so, and how to restore the original appearance. Finding out that your printer ink gets used at 20x the rate is not the way to go. As it is, there is completely inadequate explanation of what happens e.g. When work is shared between users who have different theme or system settings When printing or exporting as pdf, png etc. When opened in a different programme e.g. Microsoft Office, Google Sheets, etc. - or even an earlier version of LO that doesn't offer this "feature". There is no real clarity on the purpose of this feature - it should not leave users with an unexpected fundamental change in the presentation of their work, perhaps necessitating many hours of reformatting. It might make sense to offer a feature designed to assist those who have OLED screens to reduce their burn-in risk, but that should be on a toggle, and not affect standard output. It would be really burdensome if users are going to have to consider that other users may have a totally different experience of their work, and need to check its appearance and tweak accordingly, or even create different versions for different UI themes. Of course, if someone wants to set yellow polka dots as a personal background I can't control that ultimately, and I won't care - but if it is something as fundamental and system driven as dark themes that is very different. Most parts of LO include templates as a feature to customise appearance of presentations, drawings, texts and spreadsheets. The one really important omission is charts, already the subject of a long running change request going back to 2013 that has received little attention (along with many other long standing chart bugs and change requests - chart seem to be the poor relation with most work going on new features for Writer, although there now appear to be some signs of movement). https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62925 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
