Bug ID: 143302
Summary: Detect switches between dark and light GTK themes and
automatically switch to the corresponding icon set
when available
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.0.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
LibreOffice already has dark variants for two of its icon themes (Sifr and
Breeze). I wish more of its icon themes (particularly Colibre and Sukapura) had
dark variants, but this is not the issue today.
What I'm reporting today is that when the GTK theme changes, LibreOffice should
detect if it's the normal version of a theme or if it's a dark variant, and
then, if it has a compatible icon theme (that has a light and dark variant),
switch the icon theme accordingly, automatically. Otherwise, things typically
are unrecognizeable in dark mode.
This is particularly noticeable when you have systems where the OS (or a
script, or an extension such as
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2236/night-theme-switcher/). For what
it's worth, Firefox does it and handles it beautifully, without needing user
intervention or an app restart, when its theme is set to "system"; so it's
possible, theoretically & technically speaking.
