Confirmed, the outline around the icon is almost invisible, making it really hard to tell whether the option is checked.

This is with the generic VCL plugin. This can be observed on a stock ubuntu desktop by running:

    SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice --draw

summary: - Togglable buttons status is very hard to see
+ Status of togglable menu entries is very hard to distinguish with gen
+ VCL plugin

(initially reported in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1803696)

Some menu items like "Snap to Snap Guides" can be toggled, but it's very hard to understand in which status they are because the outline around the icon is almost invisible.

Steps to Reproduce:
Run LibreOffice Draw with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen, toggle the "View > Snap Guides > Snap To Snap Guides" menu item.

Actual Results:
When re-opening the "View > Snap Guides" menu, it is very hard to tell whether the "Snap To Snap Guides" entry is checked or not. When it is checked, there is a thin, almost invisible outline around the icon.

Expected Results:
When re-opening the "View > Snap Guides" menu, it is obvious whether the "Snap To Snap Guides" entry is checked or not.

Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No
