Screenshot of most of the text disappearing in KDE systemsettings when a dark
mode colors scheme is set

I run FreeBSD in a VM, and even though it's mostly for testing out ports for
now, I like to play around with the desktop styling.

While doing that, I discovered that when I use any dark mode color scheme, a
lot of the text in KDE applications is blank, see attached screenshot. I tried
multiple dark color schemes in the "Colors" KDE systemsettings section, they
all result in the same problem.

When I switch the "Application Style" for the look of the widgets, the problem
doesn't go away either. (However, I noticed that when I switch to e.g. the "MS
Windows 9x" application style, the buttons keep their rounded corners, but that
seems to be likely a different hiccup.)

On my Linux KDE machines, I've never seen this dark mode disappearing text
issue, so it seems to be some sort of FreeBSD problem.

Sorry if this is somehow a user error and not a bug!
