Dark text in the GrayCard theme

Tested in digiKam 8.3.0 (and recently 8.2)
In the recently released weekly snapshots some captions are very dark. In the case of dark subjects, these texts are difficult to read.
Screenshots is attached

I can't reproduce it here with the digiKam-8.3.0 AppImage, the text on your screenshots is a gray tone and very easy to read.

Please use the Breeze Widget Style in the setup, it is the new modern looking one.

Sorry, I was mistake: "Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux Mint 21.2 (appimage)"!
Linux Mint is not affected, I only experience it in Windows too.
The screenshots were also made in Windows.

Hi,

The 8.7.0 pre-release Windows installer from today have been rebuilt from
scratch with Qt 6.8.3, KDE 6.12, OpenCV 4.11 + CUDA support, Exiv2 0.28.5, ExifTool 13.27, ffmpeg 7, all image codecs updated to last version (jxl, avif, heif, aom, etc.).

Please try with this version to see if your problem still reproducible...

Thanks in advance
Best regards
