It is High Contrast with other icons. The green elements (e.g. in Sidebar) are defined in our code, and there are many more of them. We cannot simply (mis)use HC icons for Dark Mode. This would just be a "quick and dirty" solution, sorry.I see what you mean. If any programmer would like to look into this, it would be great. For the moment under Linux (at least Ubuntu) switching the Gnome UI to Dark mode causes OpenOffice to switch to High Contrast (if the Accessibility option "Automatically detect high contrast mode of operating system" is enabled, which is the default)
We could change the default, but would that help?On Windows, I never managed to get AOO use a dark UI. I could only enable HC mode and then AOO switches accordingly.
In any case the current High Contrast icon theme is also a "quick and dirty" solution which doesn't work on a light background...
High Contrast was initially dark UI. But Microsoft added some new themes in Windows. So now we also have a white HC theme.
The more obvious solution is to that each icon set has a light and dark modes that switches according to the OS and that HC is a separate mode (set in Acessibility) which uses a particular HC icon set also with light and dark modes, among other changes (like the green lines)
That would be the goal. But honestly, we have more important things on our list.
Adding a new icon set is (technically) easy when we have the icons. But users will never see them if we cannot release it.
