Bug ID: 152454
Summary: Dark Mode on Windows 11 shows light borders and tabbed
menu bar in background collor
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.0 alpha1+
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
On Windows 11 the Dark Mode shows a lot of white/light borders around the
different areas of the LO programs. For example around the tabbed menu bar's
there the light border and the top buttons of the tabbed bar have these light
borders as the buttons itself have a light fill while the bar itself has a
(background collor) dark fill. This imo is distracting as eyes are moving
toward the top buttons instead of to the menu bar where the incons are one
wants to use. A light fill make the buttons popup in the screen, while the dark
fill on the menu bar makes it fade a bit in the background. A light menu bar
makes it a bit float on the screen and makes sure attention is where it needs
to be.
Comparing this to like Microsoft Office, there are no white borders in MSO and
there is a light menu bare.
Comparing this to like LO in Light Mode, there are no dark broders around ligh
menu bars and the background fill of the tabbed menu bar is a bit darker then
the backgound so it pops up a bit on the screen.
So, I think the LO Dark mode would benefit from ajusting the collors a bit to
make it easier on the eyes and more quite on the screen. This would be in line
with other Dark Mode supporting applications.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup Windows 11 in Dark Mode (latest patched)
2. Install LO 7.5 Alpha 1
3. On LO startup it's in Dark Mode. Borders and buttons are as described in the
Description section.
4. If I shutdown LO and set Windows 11 Thema to Light, then
5. Startup LO it's in Light Mode. LO Light Collor schema looks OK, so meaning
it does NOT look like an inversed version of the Dark Mode thema with lik dark
borders around menu bars etc.
Actual Results:
In Dark Mode there a lot of light lines around, like around the tabbed menu
bar's and it's top buttons. Tabbed buttons have a light backgound and the menu
bar has a dark fill like just like the backgound collor.
Expected Results:
I would expect in Dark Mode LO would not use light elements. It should be more
in line with other Dark Mode supporting applications like MS Office. Also LO
Dark Mode does not behave like the opposite of the Light Thema mode.
I would expect no light border around elements as the tabbed menu bar and its
top buttons. I would think the menu bar should have a light fill and the menu
buttons on the top of the bar be in backgound collor, then only the selected
tab should light up a but (or have an think light border on the botton of the
button which shows that is the selected on - this is also how MS Office shows a
selected tab in their tabbed menu).
