I prefer the Breeze Dark color scheme as it find it less stressful on my eyes, however it's unusable with QCAD where the Command Line prompts and responses are rendered as a very light grey on a white background. I believe the proper fix would be one (or both) of:
Make the Command Line area background follow the desktop scheme. (It appears that the text already does so, hence the light text, but since the background doesn't it becomes unusable.)
Provide a configuration option for the text and/or background color used in the Command Line area.
Screen shots are attached showing both Breeze and Breeze Dark schemes.

Workaround: switch to Dark theme.

Did you try to switch the QCAD theme to Dark?

I must admit with shame that I did not. I perused the color settings but completely missed that one. Changing it did not help immediately, but upon a quit/restart all is good. Thanks!
Also, I'm curious, what's the status for Hi-DPI support? I have a new 4k monitor that I love and was surprised to see that QCAD being a Qt app isn't behaving perfectly. I wouldn't be so surprised if it were GTK based. I have to adjust dialogs because text is so clipped and tool widgets are overly small.
Please post a new report for each new issue, thanks.
