I need help with LibreOffice 25.2 in Writer; it appears in all black mode. I used to have black type on white, now it is white type on a black background.

What setting is needed to get what I prefer?

Actually, this was by design at the 25.2 release (it is in the release notes), and revised a bit at the upcoming 25.8 release.

If you don't like the Dark theme's light fg on dark bg appearance, you are expected to download and install a new Appearance theme. A link button 'Add more themes' to the theme extensions is present on the Tools -> Options -> Appearance tab next to the list box showing Automatic. An 'Extensions: Color Themes' dialog will open. Select the 'Install' button for "Light Application Colors"

The entry 'Light Application Colors' will then appear in the list box below 'Automatic'. Select that and Apply OK out. LibreOffice will prompt to restart.

This was refined further for 25.8 and the Light Application Color theme will not be necessary, a 'Use white document background' checkbox is provided and enabled by default.
