Bug description

The settings now uses some gray shading to represent levels of hierarchical depth in some sense. While this is in general, okay-ish to try, the full gray background renders the text and symbols rather hard to read.

You see there are like 4 different levels of gray in the screenshot where contrast slowly vanishes. The sign left of bilder-main is almost impossible to see.

Apart from the problem of readability, the overall design feels clumsy.

While the settings are okay-ish, the list of files is a mixture of styles, gray-levels and what not. To be honest (and no offence here) it looks like a development version where one wants to see the paddings/margins to fix some visual issues.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the settings
2. Open the list of synced folders

The new UI is unusable in Windows High Contrast mode:

(note: I did not censor anything in the above image, this is how the text appears - completely invisible)

This is using the Night Sky Windows High Contrast theme.

@jernejs the unreadable text in the account wizard should already be resolved with #9801 at least (this is already part of daily builds).

strange that the high contrast theme uses a really bright colour though. we'll take a look at it ...
