I went libre office: settings: toggled from dark theme to light theme: hit apply: hit ok. and closed dialogue box.still dark. killed app. relaunched. still dark.
I can confirm the setting is busted in Libre.
Buuuut--"I've been having some trouble getting libreoffice to work in light mode while having my system theme be dark mode"
Isn't that the way it works for every app, every distro? apps mimic system theme? or can app themes be independent of the system theme?
[I have no care of appearing the fool with that question as long as I learn.]
I tried turning gedit
into light theme and I succeeded to an extent:
See titlebar still mimics system dark theme.
And then i thought well I had to make an adustments to a "custom theme". Since I use Libre for Writer only, I wonder if deep in its settings are 'custom schemes' or crap the like that will make the light theme stick easier?
In others words instead of toggling into Light theme, maybe make Libre friendly to it first. If that makes sense.
