I'm wondering if KMyMoney uses custom colors for certain UI elements (via 
stylesheets or by explicitly setting palette colors) or whether it relies on 
the widget style. If it's the former then this is would point to wrong 
assumptions about foreground and background colors when setting custom colors. 
On the other hand, if KMyMoney relies on the widget style (which should always 
be Breeze on Windows) then things can likely be fixed in the Breeze style. I 
have fixed a few things in Breeze with regards to Windows' High Contrast color 
themes that I noticed while working on Kleopatra for Windows. I'm not aware of 
issues with Breeze Light or Breeze Dark on Windows. If KMyMoney doesn't do so 
already I strongly suggest that KMyMoney uses KColorScheme and the Breeze 
color schemes on Windows.

Regards,
Ingo
