The dark system theme I have set seems to make some applications look funny, with dark boxes where they should be light. Is there any way I can manually set a theme on a per-application basis?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

if you don't find another solution, i have libreoffice installed via flatpak and this issue does not exist
Because the theme doesn't get applied at all or why?
I don't know, stuff on the repos can be broken sometimes on some distros, i recall firefox on fedora with the missing codecs, opensuse and their flaky distrobox (or podman?) implementation.
In my experience, repo versions of software is not totally consistent, even worse when compared to flatpak, if a flatpak breaks, it doesnt break on just ubuntu, or fedora, or arch; it breaks everywhere, and gets fixed everywhere too. Credit where credit is due, small utilities generally tend to have better experience when installed natively, like htop, fish, and some other small programs.
Maybe i'm just a dumb software progressive, but flatpak generally is much more reliable for me than native repo versions of software.
