Finding Dark Mode Applications in LibreOffice (except LibreOffice Draw)
LibreOffice is a powerful open-source office suite that includes several applications such as Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw. While most of these applications support Dark Mode, LibreOffice Draw does not have a specific Dark Color Scheme. In this article, we will explore how to find and use Dark Mode in other LibreOffice applications.
What is Dark Mode and Why Use It?
Dark Mode is a color scheme that uses dark backgrounds and light text. It is designed to reduce eye strain, especially in low-light conditions. Dark Mode can also help save battery life on devices with OLED or AMOLED screens.

- Open LibreOffice and go to Tools > Options.
- In the Options dialog box, select LibreOffice > Appearance.

Once you have enabled Dark Mode, all LibreOffice applications will use the dark color scheme, except for LibreOffice Draw.
Using a Different Dark Color Scheme in LibreOffice
If you want to use a different dark color scheme in LibreOffice, you can create a custom style. Here's how:
- Open LibreOffice and go to Format > Styles and Formatting.
- In the Styles and Formatting dialog box, click the New Style button.
- In the Create Style dialog box, select Paragraph Style as the style type.
- Under the Organizer tab, give the style a name (e.g., Dark Mode).
