And every time I tested it on Windows or Linux, part of the toolbars remained light :/īut, teh great news is that things are much better under Linux, where LibreOffice should recognize your window manager’s dark theme and use it by default, almost everywhere - as far as I can tell, the only part of Writer that doesn’t switch to dark is the ‘Comments’ panel/thingy that will stay blindingly white. Worse, under Windows or macOS, many panels simply won’t LO’s dark theme at all, they stay light. We’re forced to manually setup LO own’s “dark theme” which is more gray than dark and which I find quite mediocre, imo. Support is the worst for Windows and macOS where LibreOffice doesn’t seem to recognize either of their dark themes, which doesn’t make for a great experience. The way it handles a dark theme is not the same wether you’re using Windows, macOS, or Linux. It can also look much less cluttered (see ‘Hide the clutter’, below). LibreOffice Writer can use a dark theme - both for its UI and for the document itself:
