LibreOffice dark theme menus


Hi,

I am wondering if someone managed to have a dark theme not showing unreadable menus.

I tried editing files by hand but couldn't find how to set the text to black.

Any help would be great. Jl

I gived up to edit theme and just launched LibreOffice with
Code:
libreoffice -env:SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen
then applied a theme. It's not as good looking as I would like but I have readable menus and dark UI.

Will stick with that till I find something better...

Keew - I hope that works out for you... might even want to check your repo for themes and icons to put a bit more flare to your DT/WM
