Thanks. At the moment I will stick with V24 as it does all I want.

I'm still having huge issues with V25.

I deleted my earlier post from today as it was factually incorrect but I have tried again, this time uninstalling V24 first as a test (and cleaned registry manually of every LibreOffice entry as a test) and it is still no good.

By default the appearance opens to your system settings (dark mode in my case) but as soon as I alter it to white and then back to dark it seems permanently broken. Even a restart doesn't fix it.

In dark mode once it fails all text in cells change from 'white on black' to 'black on near black' although the first time the program was opened after install (and before you alter the appearance modes) it was white text on a black background.

Also when it fails I notice any text in red actually displays correctly on the spreadsheets while other cells with text and numbers appear 100% empty, just totally 100% black on black background. If you hover over a cell the correct info appears at the top line of the sheet so it still present, just not visible.

Also when in dark mode and you hover the cursor over the top of any of these options (V24 image below) on the toolbar they turn 100% white and remain so. So if you run the cursor over the toolbar each feature/option etc changes to a white featureless square.

Now back on V24 again (thanks Macrium)

So all these clickies such as undo, redo, print, clipboard etc etc turn white when that item is just hovered over and they do not return to normal.

Having done a bit of research it seems issues with 'Appearance' and dark mode are pretty widespread. So its not just me...

One way (untested by me) is to apparently reset it back to default by deleting the LibreOffice 'user profile' folder in %APPDATA% which is called "4"

As I'm back on V24 I will leave it be. Although it is claimed this resets things back to default (you lose any customisation, dictionaries etc) it doesn't fix the problem in that if you alter the appearance again it will break again.
