Invisible elements with dark theme

[ismslv]

System version: macOS Sequoia 15.2
App version: Larch 2025.1.1, specifically Larix

Problem: with dark theme, some colors in the app make some elements invisible.

@ismslv My understanding is that wxPython currently does not have support for dark mode. Or, at least, I don't know of a way to get a signal from the operating system that says "use dark mode".

@newville Maybe this library will help?

Or simply subprocess.check_output(['defaults', 'read', '-g', 'AppleInterfaceStyle']) which will return "Dark" (b'Dark\n') in case of Dark mode or long error text in case of white.
