--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
IMHO the System-Light-Dark remains the correct approach. And requiring each
Appearance LibreOffice Theme to define both Light and Dark color sets for the
single theme.

The onus then on the theme designer to provide both color theme flavors.

That way the 'System' setting explicitly responding to the color mode--Light or
Dark--as set by user on their os/DE preferences. 

This continues to make to most sense, whereas making each color LO Appearance
Theme a single color set would require user to explicitly set a Light theme or
a Dark theme with no ability to follow os/DE handling (i.e. to support Night
Shift or Night Light shifts, or explicit Light color vs. Dark color theme
support).

I don't think making the LO Appearance themes static single mode choices (even
with user ability to further customize color set) would not improve the
feature. And would double the maintenance tail for dev/designers implementing
their Appearance themes.
