[Solved] I would like to have a background colour in the LO app (not the page)

I want to change the APP background colour {Yes, English, not american :wink: }.
I am using the latest available version of LO and my computer is running Debian 12.

I have not been able to find any info about this but I do get swamped with document-background stuff.
Hope to have a resolution RSN.

Thanks.

Rough guide

  • Menu item Tools - Options
  • In left pane expand branch LibreOffice and select Application Colors
  • The third item in the General category should read “Application background” or something to that effect (I am not on English user interface ATM, so have to guess :wink: ). This is the setting you are looking for.

See also the help page.

Hopefully, the advice is relevant to you despite the fact that I largely use American spellings :stuck_out_tongue: In my defense (sic!), the cultural influence from across the Atlantic is rather heavy.

In addition see Application theming in the release notes for 25.2 due out next month sometime, ReleaseNotes/25.2 - The Document Foundation Wiki

That is it EXACTLY!
Thank you VERY much @keme1 .
(I inadvertently selected “Document background” and then actually engaged my brain and selected “Application background”).
ALSO, FWIW I have installed (upgraded to) the beta of 25.2 and the Application theming, both, IS there, and does work as I would hope/expect. The theme options leave a little to be desired but that is readily attended to.
Thanks to @keme1 & @EarnestAl
