Dark Blue Navigation Buttons
Some Open Office command buttons (for instance in the Find/Change tool) are
so dark blue (at least on a mac) that they are nearly unreadable. I've
followed suggestions on the Community Site and also from Googling but none
of it works. Why was such a terrible color contrast chosen and is there any
way I improve it? I'm elderly and eyesight is not good so it's additionally
frustrating. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Thanks for moving this to the right place and in the hope someone can fix
it. It's really annoying, been like this forever (at least on a Mac) and
plenty of complaints about it. So again... thanks for your help!

If you would like to help solve this problem then you should ask how on the dev mailing list. The project is completely run by volunteers.

We have a Bugzilla issue for it:

Hi team,
The question here is where do these Blue buttons with black text live in the codebase and what needs to be done to fix this issue?

Hi -
I find these buttons difficult myself.
These buttons should always have white text on a blue background.
This is a development issue and I put the users mailing list on bcc, moving this conversation to the developer list.

Because my eyesight is not great I have been googling for an answer for at
least two years and have come across many complaints about it, and quite a
few suggested fixes (that do not work or I cannot figure how to make them
work). I don't know enough about these kinds of open source/etc
arrangements to know but is there no one at Open Office or Mozilla or
wherever who is able to fix this? (Or who can explain why it can't be?)

So why another such tool? I want to have everything on my own, both files
and tools, regardless of the internet = eavesdropping, etc.

Team,
I strongly suggest that we create a website that looks like the Apache Open
Office interface, and then run a free a11y tool on it.
A number of tools are available for use by the public, such as Wave.

Here is the Bugzilla entry for this problem.
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128498. The Apache OpenOffice®
code-base is quite large and very complex. It is often difficult to
track down whare the code is stored for a particular bug. As the
code-base supports 3 different operating systems, which may well use
different ways of handling a particular problem,going through millions
of lines of code to isolate where macOS handles this can be quite daunting.

FWIW, I agree that the black letters on a dark blue background are very hard to read. It would be nice if there were some way to customize the background/font/colors.
