How to disable Text Overflow red triangle in version 25.2.0.3?

The search result answers are allll over the place for this, suggesting many different things that this version does not have.

The most recent result suggests a check box in LibreOffice > Application Color options, which I cannot find.

  1. Click Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Appearance
  2. You cannot alter the Automatic theme at the moment. Click the New button to create a new theme, or download a pre-made theme such as Office 2003 Blue. Allow LibreOffice to restart.
  3. Click Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Appearance and under Customisations, select Calc Text overflow indicator then untick the box Show in document

Or slightly more risky

  1. Click Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced and click Open Expert Configuration.
  2. Search for overflow
  3. find the CalcTextOverflow line and double click it to set it from true to false

Ya know, looking at it now, I should have been able to figure that out, lol. Thank you so much!

New problem. Using any custom theme at all messes up all colors across all applications, like making the scrollbar and background all white. Attempting to change them further causes everything to turn white. Deleting custom theme and going back to automatic fixes it, but brings back all the red triangles.

Potentially, that is the new look, see How to get back the previous UI colors?

Use the second option I gave

Thank you. Yes, second option is better.

Weird that the first option causes problems.

I use Office 2003 Blue without problems on 25.2.1 and lime for 25.8, also without problems. Just a different look
