--- Comment #18 from ckoresko at atlanticbb.net ---
It seems that Libre (like certain other programs) suffers from a general issue
with producing very low contrast text-vs-background combinations under under
certain conditions that are difficult to enumerate.  Configuring Libre to light
text on a dark background and/or using a dark desktop/toolkit theme, seem to
trigger these issues.  I'm fighting a couple of them now (white text on a pale
yellow background in Writer comments, black formulas on a black background in
writer).  Sometimes switching desktop themes will cure the issue in one context
while causing it somewhere else.

I understand that light-on-dark is helpful for people with some kinds of weak
vision.  I personally find it much easier to look at over time, even though my 
vision is not horrible.

I wonder if it would be practical to implement a bit of code in LO that checks
the contrast between text and background and tweaks the font color
automatically to avoid these situations.  This would probably need to be made
optional to avoid interfering with people who actually *want* low contrast.
