Yeah, something easier-to-reach, even something like:

- View > User Interface

then have toggles:

- Light/Dark Mode
- Light/Dark page

- - -

Right now, it's spread across 3 different settings you have to tweak/adjust:

1. Icon Theme
2. LibreOffice Themes
3. Color Scheme
--- You have to choose "LibreOffice" or "LibreOffice Dark"
--- ... then adjust your "Document Background" + other colors.

... along with your:

4. OS's Light/Dark setting.

- - -

Perhaps most of this can be incorporated into:

- 1 menu with buttons/toggles/dropdowns.

You then:

- Choose your UI.
- See the thumbnail image update.

It looks how you want? Great!

Doesn't look how you want?

- Choose mix of settings until you are satisfied with thumbnail.
- Press OK.

- - -

I recently explained the 3 LO settings here:

(That's just the latest answer I gave... but the Dark Mode
posts/complaints/confusion has been flooding in for ~6 months now.)

I think having a simple menu/option, like:

- View > User Interface

would save a ton of support time, plus be relatively intuitive.
