Description malte_timmermann 2010-06-01 16:17:44 UTC 
OOo does special things in High Contrast Mode, but actually there is no high
contrast mode flag available in the system, so the guessing sometimes leads to
unwanted behavior.

It's also unclear if it's wise to automatically only show outlines in Impress
when that special mode is detected/guessed. Does a HC mode user really only want
to see outlines? Does it make sense to only see the outline from a bitmap?

And because this guessing based on windows background color and font color
configured in the system, it sometimes leads to "false positives" for people
with dark themes/configurations. These people have no clue what a high contrast
mode would be, and how to disable it in OOo.

We should collect all special cases we do in HC mode, and decide how to deal
with that in the future.
In most cases, I guess there shouldn't be something like HC on/off, but simply a
good support for theming.

target 3.x - I hope we can start this when 3.3 is out of the door.

It seems like the GTK bug depends on this one, which IMHO is not a duplicate but the root cause of all the other bugs on Linux (GTK), macOS and Windows, and so it has a more suited subject and better description

Feel free to reopen it and add info to it as needed

High Contrast is IMHO not equal to Dark Theme.

GTK bugs are about some wrong function calls, this here goes beyond.
