SUMMARY

Hi,
I'm using plasma with the Breeze Dark theme and I just opened GnuCash and realized that I can't read the selected text in a row that is selected. How can I fix this?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Settings (in plasma) set Application Style -> GNOME/GTK Application Style GTK2 and GTK3 theme to Breeze-Dark
2. I realized in GTK3, the preview doesn't change from Breeze Dark to Breeze normal like GTK2 does so you might need to logout/login here in order to get the settings applied
3. open  GNU Cash, select a row & enter text...!

OBSERVED RESULT
it's black text on a very dark background, un-readable

EXPECTED RESULT
the text should be light colour on dark selection background

Okay, I just realized that the selected text in row remains unreadable even when both GTK2 & GTK3 settings get set to regular Breeze, to make it readable, the Global Theme in System Settings has to be set the Breeze (rather than Breeze Dark)

Looks like an app-specific issue. What's likely happening is that this text color is hardcoded to black in the app rather than using a color from the color scheme. Please report this to the GNUCash developers. Thanks!
