Created attachment 125047 [details] dark on dark SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set the system theme to "Breeze Dark" 2. Open Kate with "Normal" color schema - this was the default. RESULT: Dark text on dark background (shot1.png) Alternately: 3. Set the system theme to "Breeze Light" 4. Open KDE with "KDE" color schema RESULT: Light text on light background. (shot2.png) OBSERVED RESULT When the color schema is set to Normal (Kate settings), only the light system theme works properly. The dark breeze theme is Dark on Dark. When the color schema is set to KDE (Kate settings), only the dark system theme works properly. The light breeze theme is light on light. EXPECTED RESULT Kate should support system color schemes.

dark on dark and light on light should be reversed. Wrong descriptions but can't edit.
There's a "Breeze Dark" color scheme meant for this, but I agree, the default editor color scheme should respect the system color scheme's colors so you don't need to change anything in Kate when you change the system color scheme. See also the discussion at https://phabricator.kde.org/T11064

Do you think it can be fixed for 20.04.X? That'd be too awesome! ;)
