Bug#770477: mate-themes: dark themes make parts of libreoffice unreadable

[Ayke van Laethem]

Package: mate-themes
Version: 1.9.1-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I am not sure whether this is a mate-themes or a libreoffice bug, but here it
goes.

When applying the theme 'BlackMATE' or 'High Contrast Inverse', some parts of
LibreOffice (the ruler, parts of the status bar) become either hard to see
(BlackMate) or practically impossible to see (High Contrast Inverse, a theme
designed for accessibility). I would expect those icons and lines to have a
lighter color so they're visible on the dark background.

I think this not only is a theming issue, but also an accessibility issue as
the High Contrast Inverse theme is affected.

I have attached two screenshots, one with a light theme (BlueMenta) and one
with a dark theme (BlackMATE) to see the difference.
