How to set light theme for some apps, when global theme is dark?

[Ev4ld]

Hi there,
is there any way to run apps like libre office writer or cisco packet tracer with light theme, when global theme is set to Breeze dark?

Hi @Ev4ld ,
There is no such thing ‘one suits for all’. Try switching it by a keyboard shortcut.
Copy it into home directory as lida.sh (chmod +x is needed)

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# toggle 2 colorschemes
if test -f $HOME/.Light; then
	plasma-apply-colorscheme BreezeDark; rm $HOME/.Light
else
	plasma-apply-colorscheme BreezeClassic; touch $HOME/.Light
fi

and I use Alt+C to toggle the colorschemes.
Note:
plasma-apply-colorscheme -l
You have the following color schemes on your system:

• BreezeClassic
• BreezeDark (current color scheme)
• BreezeLight
• EdnaLight
  EdnaLight is a bit greyish. A winner of Light color schemes in my random search.
  Back to your question: Should you want simultaneously see 2 types of themes –
  use a virtual machine (kidding).

I like my dark theme, but libre office and cisco packet tracer are not visually comfortable with dark theme, if I could apply light theme just for those apps…

You can make LibreOffice easier to look at if you change the theme here to Breeze (not the option I have showing).

@Ev4ld
Out of curiosity I’ve installed packettracer and set Color Scheme to No Theme (see below)
Next time started PT from EdnaLight theme

and it preserves that color scheme even if I switch back to dark theme.

In LO under Personalization there are 6 preinstalled (limited) themes.

Hello,

Launched from a terminal for testing :

GTK_THEME=Breeze libreoffice

It works fine.

Edit: I forgot something, you also need the Breeze GTK theme installed for GTK apps such as Libreoffice.

thanks, classic color scheme is fine to me. Somehow couldn’t see color scheme settings before

[Ev4ld]

thanks, I have found some LO icons themes that make it look easier thank to your post
