Yes, currently the gobal plasma theme has no effect onto amaroks plasma theme. 
Independent of that, in a dark kde theme the text is bright. But the the bluish 
background color of the context view seems not to be based on anything from the 
kde theme. It seems always to be the same (semi transparent) blue. But the text 
that gets rendered on top of this DOES get the text color from kde and therefore 
it doesn't have good contrast when a dark kde theme is used. See the screenshot. 
I use the "Obsidian Coast" color scheme.
