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
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/3347Normally 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?
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.
Use 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.
