I'm already following the issue you mention and have already commented there on
a separate item there already.

However, I don't feel that this bug falls under its scope. The main topic on
that issue is about KDE applications adopting the theme of other DEs, and how
they can integrate better into Gnome and similar DEs. I'm not really trying to
make Dolphin look like other applications on my desktop or trying to integrate
it with any DE in any way. I don't have a strong preference on which theme it
uses, or what type of widgets it draws either.

I'm using Dolphin with the default theme (Breeze) with the dark colour
preference. Both of these are part of KDE; there's nothing about a different DE
involved in this scenario (though I'll clarify I'm also not using KDE; I have a
single no-DE setup). The issue at hand is black text on black background, which
is simply totally unreadable, and not really a matter of "appearance" (please
do check out the screenshot if you haven't).

I expect the outcome of the issue you link to be some mechanism whereby a DE
can tell KDE applications to render using a different theme or something alike.
I've no interest in this mechanism; the ideal fix for _this_ issue would be
that applications render readable out-of-the-box without any such additional
customization mechanism.

It's also worth mentioning, Neochat and Tokodon render text white (or is it
light gray?) text on black background on this same host and are perfectly
readable; this issue is specifically about Dolphin.
