Hi, I am new (few days) on FreeCAD and I have a problem with the color of the dropdown menu when I enter a dimension formula. In "light" theme the dropdown menu is black and the text is black so it becomes unreadable. But in classic and dark themes the colors are correct. I have been unable to find which setting controls these colors. Ideallu I would like to change the light theme to something similar to that of the classic (black text, white dropdown menu background). I have attached images for all 3 themes, light, classic, dark. Does anyone know how to control this?
Thank you.

I found how to fix this locally in case you are still in trouble. Seems that QTextBrowser for all light colored style sheet is set to #ffffff and that causes the auto-fill box to be completely black.
To fix it, you can find the style sheet from the preferences window you are currently using, navigate to "WINDOWS = C:/[INSTALLATION_PATH]/FreeCAD/data/Gui/Stylesheets/" and change the background color for QTextBrowser from #ffffff to #000000. For light-blue.qss, it is in line 1037. The result should look like this.
I have version 0.21.2
For whatever reason my computer stated I did not have permissions to change the C:/[INSTALLATION_PATH]/FreeCAD/data/Gui/Stylesheets/ file.
But based on what rainersjusts said, I changed the preference pack to light theme. The problem exsited. By default, the Light theme chooses the style sheet as light-blue.
Then I changed to Style sheet to "No Style Sheet". All the other light theme colors stayed in place while the Style sheet changed back to default. I checked the dropdown in the Formula Editor and the text is readable (background is white, text is black).
Thanks!
