Dark theme for libreoffice

Sudo flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice. Step 1: Open the LibreOffice application in which you want to apply the theme. If or once Flatpak is installed, I installed LibreOffice: If it is not, set it up: Official Flathub Solus setup page. Not sure either? Check with the following command that will tell you whether it is or not: Can't recall if Flatpak is installed by default on Solus. Then installed a copy of LibreOffice with Flatpak. And remember, its still experimental, so there might be a few rough edges. (Optional) Go to 'LibreOffice > View': Change the 'Icon Theme' to alternate icons (if you want). For example, a heading with font color set as 'Dark 2' changes to the new theme 'Dark 2' color. Go to 'LibreOffice > Application Color' and: Change the Color Scheme from 'LibreOffice' to 'LibreOffice Dark'. All document elements with the hardcoded theme attribute name set will change to the new theme attribute. So, following up from the Libre snap install, let's remove it first: Double-click on the theme desired or select the theme and click OK. Also, the whole program would freeze for a few seconds occasionally. *** Update: Even though a Snap install for LibreOffice works, there are these strange 'orb' like artifacts as I will call them for now, in the place where check boxes would normally appear to select certain options. Text boxes remain readable in both light and dark mode. This installs a clean copy of LibreOffice, meaning one that has not been themed for Solus specifically. After, I installed a copy of LibreOffice by snap. Possibly, make sure you have selected in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Application Colours the LibreOffice Dark in the drop down field at the top. To circumvent the 'unreadable text boxes' in light mode, I have simply uninstalled/removed all LibreOffice related packages found in the Software Center. LibreOffice Light mode text boxes black, fonts black - persists among all LibreOffice themes. LibreOffice Dark mode text boxes black, fonts white - readable. Another area in Calc with that issue is the sheet tabs. So when I switch to light mode I get the theming issue of not being able to read the black fonts in the black text boxes like mentioned and shown previously. I personally like the LibreOffice suite to run in 'Light' mode. Among other themes, the icons pop with colour and are 'properly' displayed again. I switched the Icon Theme to 'Elementary'. Double-click on the theme desired or select the theme and click OK. Upon first time running LibreOffice Calc I ran into the 'problem' of the seemingly greyed out icons which really is a theming issue.

(I am not technical enough to know whether the issue(s) should be addressed to LibreOffice or Solus).īudgie Desktop Settings at time of issue: The release notes list lots of changes in the new version. To do that, they need to go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Application Colors and select the LibreOffice Dark scheme there. Perhaps the dev team can fix the issue, especially the second point. Windows 10 and 11 users may enable an experimental dark mode in LibreOffice. Just a few more details for those interested.
