+1 Neil Smith’s remarks. I got zinged by this when I first tried dark themes. Entire sections of the interface became illegible when you only set the theme and not the look and feel. Once I got the theme set though… it helped a lot. Now I am pretty happy with my dar theme. I feel like it would have been better if it had been more obvious that I needed to change the L&F. Maybe a link to the Appearance dialog would have been enough.
