Oh, so in a colorful toolbar, you are distracted by a single color? Sounds like an ADHD issue, and not a real world one. I have never seen or heard anyone but you say (Oh, I really can't work with this, I'm soooo distracted by the light blueish color that is behind the selected option)...

Here's a pro tip. You can change the color of the selected option in you menu. You can even chose different themes that changes that. I'm sorry to hear, that this is a dealbreaker for you. I surely hope that you'll stay away from LO or other free software, because you are too fragile to use them anyways.

Oh so after getting valid examples of objectively bad UI design you start complaining?

It seems like a you problem, that you can't function in an app that highlights the current chosen option with a light bluish color. 🙃

Oh, BTW, I know a lot of people using LO, that hasn't got perfect vision. They would not be able to navigate in a toolbar where there only is a slight shift in the light of a color. It's perfectly good UI design to make it the way LO does...

There's clearly plenty people in this very post complaining about the UI/UX of LO as being bad. You can have anecdotal examples of people liking it but I bet most of the ones that don't also have more examples.

Of course that it's a us problem. Problem is, us is the huge majority, and if the huge majority thinks that the UI is bad, it kinda is...

Do you know the difference for something being bad, and something being rudimentary? Show me an UI/UX that doesn't have a lot of people complaing about something?!?

Oh, are you the spokesperson for "the huge majority"? Please show me where that was decided... Talk for yourself, don't try to claim the right to speak for others.
