Dark mode in Linux Zotero 7
I have installed Zotero in two Linux setups: Ubuntu 24.04 and crostini in ChromeOS.
The dark mode works really well in Ubuntu but in crostini on a Chromebook the menu items are almost unreadable.
Other apps in crostini do not suffer from this problem if I switch desktop themes to a dark theme. They appear to be using gtk-themes which can be set using a standard app (lxsessions).
Zotero however seem to be ignoring this and pulling it's dark mode settings from elsewhere.
Does anyone know where exactly Zotero 7 is getting its theme settings in Linux so I can tweak them?

As you can see the pulldown menu items (top left) are not very readable.
In another app (lyx) this isn't an issue as this screenshot shows:

1) Install the gnome-tweaks package
2) Launch the command gnome-tweaks
3) Select Appearance and switch the Legacy Applications choice to High Contrast.
Menu dropdowns are now readable in Zotero dark mode. Light mode for apps is changed as well but look acceptable as well.
