Word docs created don't work well in Dark Mode by default

[jacwright]

When a Word doc is created in Microsoft Word, it has no background color defined. This allows it to work well in Dark Mode on devices that support it. docx adds a background color by default, and trying to override it with null or an empty string doesn't remove it.

We need a way to remove the background color and it really shouldn't have one by default. Here is a screenshot of 2 documents in Dark Mode. The left document was created by docx, the right document was created by Word. They both look normal in light mode, but they don't work well in dark mode. See how Word inverts the text color, but not the background color?

I thought this would be a simple feature, but it seems like it requires a big "dark mode" integration?

Big +1.
And as a temporary workaround, you can manually "fix" the generated docx: go to Design > Page Colour and set No Colour.

@dolanmiu Is this something you're working on currently and expect to release in the near future?

Not something i'm working on, happy to review a pull request into this though

@dolanmiu I might be missing some big gotchas, but from my testing it seems like the pull request solves the dark mode issue.
