Issues with Dark Themes on Sidebar in Linux

[magic-ian]

MMEX version:

• 1.5.1-1~buster_amd64.deb (latest available version for Debian-based distributions; Snap edge is still on 1.4.0-alpha.6)

Operating System:

• Windows
• Mac OSX
• Linux

Description of the bug

When using Adwaita-dark system theme (arguably the most common dark theme used), all 4 themes do not display the text on the left sidebar as dark (black on white), or more preferred, does not display the sidepane itself as a dark background (white on black). Right now it is white on white.

The previous version did not have this issue, however icons did not have transparencies, and more of the program did not display white on black, so clearly there has been some improvements on the previous version, but there are a couple more things to do to fully implement the changes.

Looks like it is the exact same screen as #3364, sorry I had only searched open issues. I see it was a 1.5.3 milestone, so I'll close this and look out for the next major Linux release. I'll look at building the latest branch and seeing what needs work.
