Bug ID: 170085
Summary: Tree view uses different characters on dark and light
mode on Windows
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When changing dark/light mode for LibreOffice, one may see different characters
are used in tree view. Light mode uses +/- and dark mode uses >/v for the tree.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start LibreOffice
2. Change the theme to "Light" if LibreOffice is in dark mode, and vice versa a
few times from "Tools > Options > LibreOffice Themes". Do not click "OK", but
rather remain in the options to see the changes each time.
Actual Results:
Compare tree view in "Tools > Options". Light mode uses +/- and dark mode uses
>/v for the tree. Change happens immediately, so it should be easy to see the
difference in "Tools > Options" tree.
Expected Results:
Both dark and light mode should use similar characters. +/- seems to be a
better choice compared to >/v
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
For a comparison, this demo win32 application is useful: (requires building
with Visual Studio). Try different modes, and see the changes in the "Tree
View" section:
Darkmodelib – Win32 Library for Dark Mode Support
https://github.com/ozone10/darkmodelib/
It uses this enum:
enum class TreeViewStyle : unsigned char
{
classic, ///< Non-themed legacy appearance.
light, ///< Light mode.
dark ///< Dark mode.
};
"classic" seems to be a better choice, as it uses +/- which is more readable.
>/v is hard to see.
