Hello,
I’d like to know if is there any way to increase the highlight effect for the automatic spell-check in Libre Writer. Sometimes it’s hard for me to notice the red line and I’d like to avoid being forced to re-read multiple times to be sure that I’ve missed nothing.
If possible, I’d like for the spell-check highlight line to be more visible, either thicker or with some additional effect.
Any help?
Best regards
I don’t know of any setting that makes that possible.

This macro isn’t ideal solution, but maybe better than nothing. It gets words without duplicities from the document (via collection), then it spellchecks ones, and then it will write all incorrect words to new document.
Set the constants cLang and cCountry in the start to your language and test it. The constant cWord is definition of word by regular expression, now there is alphanumeric characters and dot and dash.

const cLang="en"
const cCountry="US"
const cDict="standard.dic"
'getDictionaries 'show dictionaries for the constant cDict
