            Bug ID: 143613
           Summary: Many UI containers seem to use a hard coded black
                    background with the black text of the light colored
                    theme in XFCE.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.6.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Several UI components seem to be hard coded for a black background, which
causes problems when using a light-colored theme with a black/dark foreground.
The UI elements I found include a black active text area on the ruler bars in
Writer and Draw; the "Custom Colors" pane in Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice ->
Application Colors (ironically); a small box in the "Caption Order" pain in
Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> AutoCaption; multiple fields in
various plugins' options; the "Select a Template" dialog in Impress; the
left-hand navigation pane in the basic LibreOffice app; the formula bar in
Calc; and the current tab in Calc. These are just the ones I noticed right off.
There are probably others.

Additionally, there are two panes in the Math main window that are black with
white foreground, but these are legible and not really a problem.

This seems to only affect the Linux version. I am using XFCE 4.16 with the
Materia-light-compact theme on Arch. Both LibreOffice Fresh and LibreOffice
Still show the bug. It happens with pretty much all light colored themes I've
tried. Using a dark theme in XFCE seems to fix the black on black issue, but
only because it changes the foreground colors to white/light gray.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Using XFCE with a light theme, open LibreOffice Writer.
2. Look at the ruler.
3. Open the Application Colors settings in the Options dialog.
4. Look at the "Custom Colors" pane.

Actual Results:
Black on black in the ruler and in the "Custom Colors" pane.

Expected Results:
Black on white/gray/some other light color based on theme in the ruler and
Custom Colors pane.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
