Unreadable Text when activating the "Dark" theme in RDi

When the theme in RDi is changed to "Dark", there are some text parts of the RDi that are not readable anymore. There is no option in the preferences to set the color of the affected unreadable text.
The affected parts that I could find by now are:
- DDS-Design
- Find-Replace
- Mousehover in some parts(See attachment)
- Block interleaving by standard setting


Use Case:

This feature(s) would be used in:
- DDS-Design
- Find-Replace
- Some mousehovers
(- Block interleaving/Text is unreadable by standard setting, but it can be changed manually in the preferences)

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. The behavior of the interface could be made more similar to what other users of eclipse experience elsewhere.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

    We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
