How to turn off border for table of contents in LibreOffice version 25?

Hi,

I upgraded my LibreOffice to version 25. Now my table of contents in Writer has a border. How can I turn it off in version 25?

In the old version I would:
Go to Tools>Options, LibreOffice>Application Colors.
There I would turn this border of.

But in version 25 there is no ‘Application Colors’ in Tools>Options, LibreOffice.

So how do you change it for version 25?

Thanks for advice.

Since there are now more and more customisable items in the GUI, Application Colors has been changed to a menu-driven control. Go to LibreOffice>Appearance (a change of name!) and play with Customization Items menu.

However, I don’t understand your question. By default, a TOC has no border unless you configure in a smart and consistent way the Contents xxx collection of paragraph styles. You perhaps mean the background.

This is a visual hint for auto-generated contents. Unfortunately you can’t remove it for TOC.

New in 25.x, there is a boundary hint around the TOC (once again to show the extent of auto-generated contents). You can hide this boundary with View> Boundaries. However, I advocate against. This hint does not print but it also controls page, table, section, … boundary display. Since this gives you valuable information about the structure of your document, it is preferable to keep it.

PS: when asking here, always mention OS name, exact LO version (e.g. 25.2.3.2 instead of 25) and save format.
