Fix dark theme

When using RDM on Windows 11 with a dark theme. The theme works well, but some portions need to be a contrasting color.

For example...
> White text on a black background looks great, but selected text is basically black as well, so you can't easily see what you are selection.
>Some check marks are variations of black or almost black with black check marks.

Side note. I have a co-worker with limited eye sight. They would love a high contrast theme.

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback. For the selection text I agree it's not very visible, we will open a ticket to see what we could change it to and synchronize between our products.
For the "Use SSL" checkbox, do you have a more complete screen capture of this window? I'd like to know which one it is exactly, as it sounds like a bug in our themeing.

Also, I forgot to mention, but we are currently reworking our UI framework to use something more flexible. This will help us in the long term support different themes more easily, and maybe even allow users to customize colors manually. Adding a high contrast theme at that time would be more realistic, as right now our current system is not very flexible.

Hello,

The checkbox issue should be fixed with the upcoming 2026 version, and the highlighting is based on Windows accent color for now. It isn't something we plan to change soon, but as Hubert specified, we are in the middle of a UI framework change that should fix this issue down the line.

This doesn't seem to be the case?
