    Hey, all the bug fixes in the world is great, but honestly? Just give me a proper dark mode. That’s genuinely all I want at the moment. MS Office has had proper dark mode for years.

    And yes I say proper dark mode because although it has dark mode it is absolute shit. The “paper” is still blazing white; meanwhile, in MS Office it is a pleasant grey so you can still differentiate it from the background while maintaining the dark mode as a dark mode.


    Edit: Evidently, I was wrong. It does support it. Clearly I either was doing it wrong and/or was misunderstanding it. Sorry for the falsehood!

        Oh shit seriously. Clearly I either did it wrong or misunderstood. Whoops! Thanks for enlightening me!

      EDIT: So, apparently it does have a proper dark mode that I didn’t know about. My apologies. Oooof, we can only dream. That sunny white paper blinding you in the dark mode is a major turn off. I still use it, though. I appreciate the rest of the suit for sure.

          I wouldn’t be so negative. The first thing I saw after reading the parent comment was a reply refuting it, with a screenshot of the dark mode. I think that’s pretty good

            Yeah, but that was also me providing that screenshot… it originally had 20 upvotes and no downvotes and was the top comment by far. No one questioned it before I posted the screenshot and the comment you replied on. I don’t even use Libre Office but immediately thought, “that can not be correct,” then I installed it to take that screenshot, so I think I can be a little frustrated and annoyed over this kind of misinformation. Because if I had just taken that comment and all the upvotes as the truth, then I would be dissuaded to use it in the future, and that would be based on completely wrong information. And that’s bullshit.

      Dark mode with a dark page has been suportes in LibreOffice since 7.4. I had to disable it because it made documents with tables and graphs look real weird (someone set the text to dark grey explicitly rather than using the built-in document styles). This version came out over a year ago.

      This has some comparisons and calls out Microsoft for not enabling dark mode in Excel like LO did.
