How to turn off dark mode?

[gaylie1]

I updated Libre Office, opened a Calc file, and suddenly it had the most horrible looking Dark Mode imaginable. I never turned it to dark mode in my life. My assumption is it automatically chose dark mode because my Windows is in Dark Mode?

I went to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Personalization and tried both no themes and a theme, but both kept having some horrible dark mode features.

I also made sure the Application Colors aren’t set to dark mode.

How can I turn this off without having to turn off Dark Mode for Windows COMPLETELY?

thank you but what do you think about this:

libreoffice => options => aussehen => options: dark

libreoffice-themes => new => choose a name … => anpassungen, einträge: hintergrund des Dokuments, Farbe Dunkel: Weiß

go back to Ansicht/View: choose something with … (Dark) or … (SVG + Dark)

Take care, 25.2.0.3 is fragile when changing the “aussehen” options; take care, see New Writer loads in Dark Mode - #3 by vsfoote . You might have to reset your user profile, LibreOffice user profile - The Document Foundation Wiki, so back it up first.

It would be easier to go to *LibreOffice-Themen* select one of the offered themes, Dark Grey Theme, perhaps. Or create your own new theme
