Screenshot of the Kdenlive UI when launched

SUMMARY
The new macOS build of Kdenlive has a number of UI elements that are not at all legible under macOS's default light mode.

It'd be good if the app could force the dark versions of all these elements.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Kdenlive in macOS in its default state (= with light mode on).

OBSERVED RESULT
Many elements, including tabs, buttons, toolbars, icons in menus, etc., are completely unreadable due to poor contrast, sometimes even white elements on white backgrounds.

EXPECTED RESULT
All elements would be readable.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: Big Sur v11.6.1
Kdenlive: v21.11.70
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: v5.87.0
Qt Version: v5.15.2

On macOS 12.6, with Kdenlive 22.08.2, it seems to display fine, although it seems to have kept my previous selection of Breeze Dark. The other themes seem to work fine as well. Can you confirm if this is still an issue with the latest Kdenlive version?
