    Description

      For "dark" themes, Qt Creator uses the "Fusion" style of Qt. While the Fusion style is well tintable as a "bright", it is not designed to be used with a dark or rather inverted palette. The result is that some of the widgets have dark highlight colors on dark background which reduces the visibility.

      We want to work this around in a minimally intrusive matter and where possible override partial drawing code.

      Improved widgets:

      • QLineEdit
      • QCheckBox
      • QRadioButton
      • QComboBox (editable)
      • QList
      • QTabBar (closable)
