Re: macOS support; agenda item ESC

When building LO without hack and SDK 10.15 UI coloring changes after switching to dark mode (e.g. 
toolbar and sidebar shading, highlight color).  As there is no specific implementation of LO's 
native colors for dark mode currently, this looks very incomplete. Color changes done by macOS 
disapper when building with SDK 10.13. For now this is reasonable as of missing specific 
implementation - better no dark mode than very incomplete dark mode. As I am building with SDK 
10.13 for the time being, I can do a retest with SDK 10.15 and hack occasionally - only to be 
really sure that behaviour of building with SDK 10.13 has no difference from building with SDK 
10.15 and hack for this case.

Are you sure that the stripped LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX 10.15 load command would negatively impact 
dark mode if dark mode were actually implemented (at all or correctly---I have no idea about the 
status there) in LO, or is that speculation on your part?

What are other features besides the "e.g. dark mode" that are negatively affected by the stripped 
LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX 10.15 load command?
