Arianna displaying the described bug

SUMMARY
Some book elements (namely, those with a light gray background) don't properly change their coloring while the app is set to the dark theme, which results in a sort of white-on-white text. Some ebook readers, such as Foliate or Apple Books, are capable of correctly changing the colors of these elements to suit dark mode, as attached in the second screenshot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the system to dark theme
2. Open a book with gray-background elements (such as The Linux Command Line by William Shotts) in Foliate
3. Find an element as described in the summary

OBSERVED RESULT
The element is difficult to read with nearly white-on-white text


EXPECTED RESULT
The element features a background similar to that of the rest of the document, providing adequate contrast
