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?

    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.
