Bug ID: 167292
Summary: Conceptual clash between color scheme on export and
during display
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Suppose I'm working on a document which I intend to export. In this document, I
use different fonts to convey some sort of meaning, or as a form of styling,
and my fonts have different levels of lightness: I have red and blue and green,
but also dark gray, and deep brown, and dark blue; all still quite usable and
discernable on a white background - which is what I get if I print or export to
PDF.
Now, suppose I run LibreOffice in Dark Mode, and with the document background
also dark. This would make my dark colors almost invisible against the
background.
And while with "regular" documents, I could just set the text color to
automatic and be done with it, in my example - I cannot. Nor can I change the
color scheme to somerthing else, since that would mess up the coloring during
export, where the background is white again.
You could say: "It's your problem, you chose to make it that way etc." - but
it's not so simple:
* Maybe this happened to me when I upgraded.
* Maybe it was fine with the documents I work on, then somebody else sent me
the document with the dark colors?
* Maybe it's the default when I install LO.
In these situations, we are in a bit of a problem. We again could just rely on
the user, but I am wondering if we should not make some suggestion on switching
at least the document background. Or perhaps, let the choice of document
background be part of the settings saved with the document.

Note: This bug was motivated by the following rant:

which can be resolved by not insisting on black text color.
