UI is not always dark mode friendly

[rbovard]

With official Night mapping theme (QGIS 3.16.11)

Model Baker v6.6.4

Note to myself:
We could get the Color from the QPalette like color(QPalette.WindowText) but this is only for the info-text. For error/success/toppings I don't have an idea yet. Maybe we need to choose a color that fits dark and bright mode.
Or we set the background differently (like gray). But this looks only nice in night mode (not in default mode).

Cc @nirvn do you have a hint?

Maybe we can go for a quick solution as a first step, to have at least a readable dialog.

Cool. What about validator and the selector in the toolboxes (two features people use while working on the data)?

Just updated the diagnosis, and yes, the selector in the toolbox looks good.
