That said, I’m wondering if the OP still has issues and if this is an OSX vs Windows problem. I’m always shocked by download counts for themes/etc for programmer-targeted software that are massively high contrast! I stay more in the SolarizedDark world. Apparently I’m part of that shrinking population of programmers who can only work with dark(ish) color palettes especially the background.
I’ve had this issue as well with several apps not just Komodo but Eclipse and even Visual Studio(2017).
