How do I get automatic spelling to highlight a misspelled word in Writer using OSX

[PeterMMorgan]

(See below for application and system details)

I am using Dark Mode, but I can’t see any underline for misspelled words with Automatic Spell Checking enabled (check mark next to menu item in Tools menu is showing). There is no Tools>Options menu item, which is where I am supposed to find the Application Colors menu item. How can I set, enable or adjust the colour of the squiggle underline identifier for misspelled words?

I also have the same problem in being unable to see any highlight for when the Find feature finds the word or phrase I’m looking for.

Thanks.

For Mac, the path is similar to other Mac applications, Preferences > LibreOffice…

You might need to restart LibreOffice to see the effect of colour change

Thanks. There is no Preferences>LibreOffice that ends up with ‘Application Colors’ or something like it.

Sorry I was doing it from memory, it is LibreOffice > Preferences > Application Colours

Thanks: I know where Preferences is. Here’s mine:

iCloud Photos - Apple iCloud

There’s no submenu leading to anything like Application Colors.

The new name is Appearance. Under the heading Customizations, click on the Items field (filled with Document background) and from the drop down, select Spelling mistakes
