--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
We have bug 166870 open to suppress the need for LibreOffice restart, so isn't
this a duplicate? 

Though I guess since this is response for the os/DE color settings Dark|Light
toggle, its not really a response to changes to our Appearance theme selection.

But personally on Windows, I prefer that we always restart to *ensure* the UI
is fully stable before resuming work. And I don't agree with bug 166870 as part
of LibreOffice appearance theme support. 

I'd even go so far as to say we *should* block automatic mode toggle, and
require the restart, rather than the current response to users DWM color
settings Dark/Light selection. Assert more control over the color mode results
for LibreOffice by forced restart.

No question that completely handling the DWM/Explorer color sense Dark|Light
"Dark mode" response is needed and worthwhile. I don't see need for LibreOffice
restart as blocking that, rather we should detect the mode change and trigger
the restart prompt.

But then as for bug 164656 I'd much prefer that we move to implementing a VCL
back end for Windows. Hopefully with better widget support than provided by MS
SDK for native win32/c++, e.g. implement qt6 based libs and weld. Gain the
ability to control all the UI elements without requiring so many exceptions for
non-handled elements missing win32 widget support.
