I've been experimenting with customizing the theme colors in MD and have slightly modified the theme that tonyt posted on Mar 13, 2022 in the thread titled "Sharing Custom Theme Templates"

https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/general-questions/120448-color-scheme

I thought that some users had a very good idea to have a thread where users shared their different screen customizations, but apparently someone didn't think so because the thread was closed on Jun 13, 2022

I have just about what I consider the perfect theme, for me anyway, but I am stuck on one element. That is the Menu Background and Text color on the Preferences Screen (See screenshot attached), The menu remains white with a light text and is practically unreadable. Does anyone know what element I can change in the Customize section to address this? I have tried many, and perhaps it is not editable.

   Thanks for the info. At this point I think I'll just leave the theme in place for a while. The only screen, as far as I can tell, that it effects is the prefs screen. I don't know why ONLY that toolbar (and drop-down boxes) have a white background. Oh well..... I'll just squint when making changes to preferences

   I think it might also affect. Extensions. And md+ setup screens.
