Dark mode questions
LibreOffice dark mode not working on Windows 11
Make sure Windows 11 is set to dark mode (Settings → Personalisation → Colors → Dark). Then restart LibreOffice. If it still does not follow, go to Tools → Options → LibreOffice → Application Colors and manually select the dark scheme.
Can I make the document white text on dark background?
Yes. Tools → Options → LibreOffice → Application Colors → Document background → set to a dark colour. Note this only changes what you see on screen — the printed/exported document still uses the actual text and background colours set in the document.
