            Bug ID: 353849
           Summary: Find highlighting/selection uses its own (hardcoded?)
                    color, which present usability issues
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: nortexoid at gmail.com

I'm using the Breeze Dark color scheme (white text on black background). When I
double click a word in a message, the background highlighting color is correct:
white text with blue background. When I find a string in a message, the text is
white but the background color is dark blue, which makes it near impossible to
see. When I click "Highlight all matches" in the options, it gets worse: white
text with bright yellow background! Basically illegible.

Is it possible to have the find colors adopt what is provided by the global
color scheme? Or if they need to be hardcoded, hardcode both background *and*
text color so the contrast comes out correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change to global dark color scheme, like Breeze Dark.
2. Restart/open Kmail2
3. Open a message
4. Find a string

Actual Results:  
The found string has a custom highlighting color (perhaps just for background
color).

Expected Results:  
The found string has the highlighting color as set by the global color scheme
(for breeze dark: #3daee9)
