The dark system theme I have set seems to make some applications look funny, with dark boxes where they should be light. Is there any way I can manually set a theme on a per-application basis?
Partially implimented system theme. Comments: oP MuSt wAnT It tO LoOk lIkE MiCrOsOfT!
The only one who so-far realized the theming is the problem suggested a quick fix that will likely leave this issue cropping up again in other applications.
Me: down-votes comments because I WANT there to be a better answer, not because I know one. Happy Monday, people!
I think that other person was answering in good faith. They were trying to help, they just misunderstood what was being asked.
Thus, that last line in my comment. My frustration in this case is just sooo much more to do with the issue than with comments.
I don’t see the point in downvoting someone when they misunderstood something and OP clarified, but perhaps i just don’t understand Lemmy.
If anything maybe I’d upvote the reply for visibility.
Anyway you seem nice, please don’t take my comments personally. I think the groupmind that gave you a ton of upvotes and that other person a ton of downvotes just rubbed me the wrong way.
I had the same problem. It’s been a while but I’m fairly certain the problem can be solved by installed the appropriate integration package. Try installing these packages, libreoffice-plasma libreoffice-qt5 libreoffice-style-breeze. Take a look at this forum thread for more info, https://discuss.kde.org/t/libreoffice-does-not-honour-kde-theme/3347
Use another theme, look for them in Tools->Preferences
Yes, actually, one of the preinstalled themes is activated. Normally you have to pick the option that says something along the lines of “don’t use themes” inside Tools/Preferences/LibreOffice/Application_Colors or something (depends on the language). That would make the desktop theme apply properly over LibreOffice.
You might need to reboot LibreOffice to see the changes take effect.
At least you have the menu bar.
Normally LibreOffice would pick up on your theme automatically, strange why it’s like this. Are you using any different versions of LO? Flatpak version or Appimage? Appimage has a lot of issues with theming.
This one’s an easy fix though, just go to Tools > Options > View and pick a theme option, that should work. If that doesn’t help then try re-installing or using a different version.
Hope this was helpful!
I guess it is flatpak, since it is the most popular way to install stuff in fedora. I guess this is the solution, but there most be a more easy way, for sure
Still these things are the reason I stopped installing flatpaks pretty soon after I started 🤭
Strange though, I’ve never had issues like this with flatpak… It might be possible ofc that it is flatpak but I suspect it’s the theme itself that’s faulty. Thanks for providing a solution btw!
I think it is because of the container design which prevents flatpak from accessing the theme. It always made problems for me and I was too lazy to tinker with flatseal 😂😅
Maybe the theme is faulty in a way like not compatible with flatpak. Or you always installed themes as flatpak as well.
