FWIW, this is something I've been noticing with the Qt6 Mobile UI using
the system dark theme. Some elements of the dark themes can be quite
sensitive to changes in the screen brightness, and choosing the right
level for anything that is intentionally not maximally bright or dark
is Tricky.
So for those of us who got used to dialling down the brightness of light
themes to make them less glaring and more comfortably usable, sometimes
you need to do the opposite for a dark theme.
I'd initially thought some theme elements were busted and some things
were
just using poorly chosen colours, but I now think it's more probably
that
the brightness/contrast of the screen that someone chose them on was
different to the brightness levels I was usually preferring - and that
if they'd made them brighter then it would have looked Too Bright on
their screen.
Which isn't to say we can't improve it, but getting it right is Nuanced.
