--- Comment #6 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We currently have system color, app color, item color and introduce theme
color. This is confusing in its combination. The proposal was to only have one
option: follow the System (use dark colors if system is dark) and overwrite
system with Light or Dark.

Each color has two representations, eg. window background is 42,46,50 or
239,240,241 [1] and the document background is #FFFFFF or #1C1C1C [2]. The new
theme contains all of these colors, and switching from dark to light changes
the entire setup. In order to get a white document background on the dark
system default we need to install the theme "White Document", which leaves the
OS colors empty aka uses the default but lists the same light values as
hard-coded. I think we don't need to other way, ie. light system background and
manual dark app colors.

The advantage of this approach over the current is just one selection of
dark/light, and the theming of all colors.
