In my lightning talk, I will present the following enhancements and improvements made to dark mode:

  • Automatic Font Color Adjustments: Improved visibility with automatic font color settings that adapt correctly to dark mode.
  • Text Drawing Boxes: Fixed issues where text drawing boxes did not update with new auto-color choices.
  • Theme Toggling: Refined the switching between light and dark modes, ensuring smooth transitions in Calc and applying similar improvements in Writer.
  • Default Background Colors: Implemented default background colors for outliners to ensure consistent appearance when toggling themes.
  • New Features: Added the "Invert Document Background Color" command for better control over document display.
  • Bug Fixes: Addressed issues such as black preview measurements on dark backgrounds and improved overall dark mode support.

I am an active contributor to open-source projects, with a strong commitment to the principles of FLOSS—enhancing user experience and accessibility in software that empowers everyone. Recently, I’ve improved dark mode features and am currently focused on making software more accessible to a broader audience. I also manage a community forum, helping users and fostering collaboration in the spirit of open-source. My work is driven by a passion for creating meaningful contributions that benefit the global open-source community.
