I'm trying to edit documents with a dark colors scheme. However, many documents aren't readable with this colors scheme and I need to switch back to an other colors scheme. I would like to quickly switch between the application colors schemes, depending a the document that I'm working on. Therefore a drop-down list into the toolbar (or notebook bar) would be useful. I'm already using this feature with Firefox and its Dark Reader extension. I'm deactivating the feature only for the web sites that aren't readable with the color transformation that Dark Reader does.
Are you referring to the colour schemes in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Application Colors?

Created attachment 194388 [details] MS 365 screenshot What MS 365 offers in the View tab: an easy switch between dark and light mode (related to bug 160349) and another to switch the document background.
This has been done recently and will be available in the upcoming release 24.8. When using the classic toolbar UI you need to customize the command where you like it, ie. menu or toolbar. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 160349 ***

I understand Jérôme is asking for an Application Colors scheme switch / dropdown that would be independent of the UI dark/light mode.

Right. The basic toggle could be supplemented with a dropdown that lets you choose from the defined Application Color schemes. It should be relatively easy to do.
Meaning you assume users to create many color schemes. Doubt that. We should wait until the new customization/personalization is implemented [1]. Idea is to make both app and system colors extenionizable, essentially bug 125217. And still, I see no convincing use case to frequently switch between color schemes, neither here not on bug 161041.

Jérome, I think that it would be useful to share two sample documents that illustrate your use case (at least for the Dark and Light color schemes). How many color schemes do you frequently switch between?
