It was a developers choice that followed branding in replacing the OOo era
launch panel. IIRC the fixed colors of the Start Center were hardcoded to make
it consistent across the os/DE builds rather than theming.

That and it is difficult on Windows and macOS to extract os/DE theming to apply
to UI elements--we don't get passed everything we'd need from the theme.

We already had to tweak special case of HC support (bug 71511) where
LibreOffice detects a11y support and responds--but LO still has glitches when
toggling the os/DE between modes, annoying.

Likely the whole theming framework needs refactoring to do this smoothly,
native WinRT/UWP support and Cocoa APIs. 

Controlling the 'white' backing window of the StartCenter would support the
a11y needs of OP. But work on theming is also needed for the newer DE modes now
offered on Windows (bug 118320) and macOS (118017).
