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?

This is a common but solvable problem. I’m afk so can’t link the right pages, but look up the LibreOffice and/or consistent gtk/qt theming entries on Arch Wiki
Edit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LibreOffice#Theme might be useful. It also links to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications, which is worth looking into as well
Do come back and link it when you can!
thanks for the reminder! don’t want another potential denvercoder9 situation
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!
Is it a flatpak installation or repo installation?
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-plasmalibreoffice-qt5libreoffice-style-breeze. Take a look at this forum thread for more info, https://discuss.kde.org/t/libreoffice-does-not-honour-kde-theme/3347Use 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.
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!
Happy Monday indeed.
