            Bug ID: 143882
           Summary: LibreOffice has now become completely unusable with
                    Windows' high contrast mode
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: getphobo at cool.ms

Description:
As stated above, LibreOffice has now become completely unusable with Windows'
high contrast mode. I am unable to see the menu bar which is displayed in full
white on white whereas my settings would tell it to show #ccddee (font color)
on #112233 (background color). In other words, it completely disregards any of
my system settings.

Interestingly, this does not fully apply to the main program (when you just
start LibreOffice, not Writer, Calc, or any of the others) which displays the
menu bar white on a very light gray (#f6f6f6). Again, this is not a color
defined by me but the main program displays it anyway for some unknown reason.
Opening one of the apps changes it to white on white, though.

Also, the icon bar on the right side of the window shows no icons/buttons. It
only shows a border around a supposed button when hovering with the mouse over
it and otherwise displays the background color with no foreground color. This
has already been an issue with version 7. I do not remember any such issues
with prior versions.

Please note this all solely applies to the UI rendering, not the document
rendering, which is actually fine and doesn't force you to fiddle with the
color settings like prior versions did. But the UI's gone bad and needs some
serious fixing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press Alt+Shift+PrtScr.
2. Press Alt+Shift+PrtScr.
3. Compare, and try to fix that mess.

Actual Results:
Unusable UI

Expected Results:
A usable UI no matter the color mode


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
