After opening LibreOffice Calc (that’s the one I’ve been using the most so far), there are numerous “buttons” for selecting various options, such as “Cancel”, “Okay”, “Help”, etc. I can hardly read what these buttons say because the program itself uses black letters on a dark blue background. I’ve been trying to change this with LibreOffice Preference settings, but I haven’t found a way to change those font and background colors so far. I can change the colors of fonts, fills and borders in spreadsheet cells that I’ve created/edited, but just not in the program GUI graphics itself. Seems like “Accessibility” preferences should address something like this, but apparently doesn’t. How can I make these “button” texts be more readable?
Hello @RHK1,
Please see if setting another option for Tools : Options… : LibreOffice : View : User Interface : Icon style solves the problem…
With Regards, lib
Tried other “icon styles”, but nothing changed the black/dark blue combination in all the program option buttons. By the way, the “options” and “view” headers are hidden by a tab bar at the top of the preferences window. As a result, I had trouble following your path from “Tools” to “Icon Style”. I submitted another question on that subject as well.
I have this problem also and the problem has to be in LibreOffice. If you look at any other dialog window with buttons, the text color for color filled buttons is white, not black.
If it’s black on dark blue on all dialog buttons check your system or window manager colour settings. LibreOffice does not “invent” this colour combination.
