Having a dark theme is a great addition, but I feel that the background is not dark enough. It makes reading white text very tiresome. Compare the MuseScore dark theme colours to those of GIMP and Darktable (see image below).

Does anyone know what file in the musescore repository has the definitions of the Dark Fusion style? I see that
MuseScore/mscore/musescore.qrc references two files related to the dark theme, one named style_dark_fusion.css and another palette_dark_fusion.json. But I don't seem to be able to find these files in the repository itself.

Thank you so much, Jojo. It seems that the search feature on GitHub's interface only searches for a string in a file but not whether this string is on its filename, so searching for a filename does not give the expected results. I will try tweaking those files and opening a new PR.
