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.

Define normal? More like Ms Office? (Under tools if im not mistaken, you can select user interface and there you have the tabbed one)
I mean the boxes for font and paragraph style are all dark when they should be light. I think it's got to do with the system theme, I just wish I could selectively choose the theme for each application so dark mode doesn't mess things up like this.
By default I have the same issue using KDE and a dark theme, what I do is set a specific theme inside LibreOffice. Another thing you can look for is setting another GTK theme or color scheme inside Customization on Plasma Settings
