            Bug ID: 121395
           Summary: Black text styling icons hard to see in "dark" desktop
                    themes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Look at the picture in this Tweet for the best demonstration:

This applies to any "important" symbol or character that is solid black,
usually a styled capital "A" or the paragraph symbol, but could include others.

Solution: Make the black in the styling buttons the same color as the gray in
the R L C J paragraph styling buttons. This gray already works well, no testing
needed before the first fix.

Dilemma: Creating separate icons for a light and dark theme invites more
compatibility issues with backend theming, as well as not necessarily being
compatible with individual themes. A unified, single set of icons would be
best. In that, find the ideal color, which is already working with the
paragraph styling buttonw.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Ubuntu or a GTK-themable environment.
2. Set the theme to Adapta-Nokto, Arc-Dark, Vertex-Dark, Vimix-dark,
Yosemite-Dark, or any other dark theme.
3. Look at the Bold, Underline, Italics, Superscript, Subscript,
Clear-formatting

Actual Results:
Can't see buttons as clearly.

Expected Results:
See buttons more clearly.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
The paragraph buttons have some highlight and shadows in them. This is often
used for a semi-3D effect, but could be a part of the paragraph button's high
visibility. I strongly suggest using a similar method of highlights and shadows
on these black symbols.

Linux love all around!
