LibreOffice Theme Conflict with OS Dark Mode Creating Unreadable Text in Calc
Hey everyone!
I was hoping someone might be able to help me with a particularly frustrating conundrum. As you might be struggling to see (I know I am) all of the data at the bottom in white text (such as the sum) is practically invisible.
I am on Windows 10 with dark mode for my system setting, using LibreOffice 25.8.5.2 (though I had the same issue on the more recent release as well).
I want to use the Lime theme, but because this version of LibreOffice seems to pull information about light/dark mode from the OS itself and no longer has the option to change it manually and use a theme at the same time, parts of my theme are using info from dark mode and are unreadable with the light backgrounds of the Lime theme.
Previously I was able to get around this in an earlier version by manually shifting just LibreOffice to light mode using a separate toggle and pairing that with the Lime theme. Is there any way to do this in 25.8.5.2 and higher?
UPDATE:
I was able to piece together a solution for this inspired by people's replies, unfortunately I wasn't able to find an option to change the status bar text color, but this works for now
Ultimately, I changed to the Light theme then manually customized the following to match the Lime theme:
Application Background: Light Lime 4
Notes Background: Light Yellow 4
Window Color: Light Lime 3
Base Color: Light Yellow 4
Button Color: Light Lime 2
Menu Bar Color: Light Lime 2
Menu Color: Light Lime 2
