Hello again community,
In light mode all the foreground colors in the `all categories` slider are black, and in dark mode all the foreground colors are white. That kinda makes sense.
However I am using `category style` box, so I have nice color matches setup to make the category labels as smooth as possible. Because it doesn’t respect the foreground color setting, some category titles are very hard to read.
