NEED HELP (please) -- Problem with dark background - ANY icon style

[Heiko Tietze]

Depends on your widget set. LibreOffice still binds to Qt4 so your KDE5 setting wont work well; I'm on LXQt and have to dig in three configurations. qtconfig-qt4, qt5-ct, and 'kcmshell5 kwindecoration' may be helpful. Alternatively, you could start with 'SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 swriter' and adjust the gtk theme to your liking. And finally when talking about icon you could use 'Breeze Dark'.

(VERY happily I no longer have that job... :-)  ).   Today I have LO installed on 4 machines, 3 Linux and 1 Windows, and I use all of them regularly.  FWIW, I don't think I'm hitting a simple "newbie" error.

This makes it virtually impossible to use some of the darker icon sets, and no matter which icon set I try, this dark background leaves many of the icons nearly "invisible".
