LibreOffice Gone Dark

I opened a document in LibreOffice and saw a barely readable black document with black text. This is apparently from an update. It uses the system colour scheme to display documents, but it doesn’t work.

There is a quick fix.

Go to the “Tools” menu and then “Options”.

In the window that opens, down the left-hand side, click on “Appearance”. Then under “Options” and “Appearance” click on the “Light” option.

Then click “OK” at the bottom.

The colour scheme was still a bit off. A simple restart of LibreOffice cleared it out.
