    I'm using Win7 and Inkscape 1.0 dark theme. I'm having a tough time reading the blue text/dark background on the Font Family lists. Is there a way to "add CSS" to change the blue text to a different color? I'm attaching a screen shot.

    I agree, the text color is hard to read against the background color.

    I imagine the color is set in your theme, and to easily modify it, the theme should be placed in your user files.ย  You might find thatย theme or a more preferred theme here:ย https://www.gnome-look.org/browse/cat/135/ord/top/ย .

    Once you have a theme in your user files, you can askย the developers where to find the style used for that menu.ย

    I like the theme I'm using now (HighContrastInverse). This seems to be a bug. Trying to find a new theme, install it and then trying to contact that theme's developer seems to be pointless.

    I guess I have to live with it. Thanks again Tyler.

    Trying three different themes from the link you provided me, none of those themes change that text color.ย

    I'd add it as a wishlist item in the issues tracker, then. Nobody can argue it's not easy to see...

    I added it, although I'm not sure if I did it correctly.ย

    FWIW, I reported it, but found out it has been reported 5 months ago.

    That's great, actually. Someone is looking into it.ย
