Created attachment 105740 [details] Example The text is really hard to read in input fields in Kdenlive. The only way I can read the text is by selecting it. I tried changing the color of it in the BreezeDark.colors file, but that changes the color of all the text. I also tried to change the background color of the input fields, but that is not possible for some reason. I guess I will have to use the bright theme. OS: Windows 10 Creators Update (1703) FFmpeg 20170525-b946bd8 win64 shared Breeze-icons is missing and I probably can't install it because I'm on Windows.

I am also experiencing difficulties reading text in a dark color scheme. In my experience, it's an extremely common mistake for programmers to make: to override a text color with something dark, while forgetting to override the background color with something light. In dark color schemes, the background color is dark and the default text color is light -- but you've changed the text color to be dark, so then you have dark-on-dark. It's probably being disregarded as "merely a cosmetic issue," but it's a usability issue. If you can't read dialog boxes, you can't use the tool effectively.
Try the “Breeze High Contrast” design.

Set to confirmed to point to the temporary color fix file.
It seems that this report is related to a very old unmaintained version and is fixed in the meanwhile. I don't think it is still necessary to keep this open to point to the color fix file. Closing.
