Code elements unreadable with the SC dark themes

[AlbanBedel]

Describe the bug Using either of the SC dark/black themes all the code elements in message are just a grey block without text. Well most probably the text and background are in the same color.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have your phone in dark mode
2. Select 'SC Dark' or 'SC Black' as dark theme
3. Look for a message with a code element.
4. Code element look empty.

Expected behavior Code elements should always be readable.

Smartphone:

• Device: Redmi Note 9S
• OS: MIUI Global 12.5.4 (Android 11)

Additional context

• App version: 1.3.12.sc48
• Store: F-Droid
• Homeserver: own

Upstream relevance I assume the 'SC' themes are specific to SchildiChat. There is also a similar bug with the 'Element Black' theme that also make the user pills unreadable.

Looks fine here:

Can you test following:

• Try out some v1.4.4-based beta if it's the same
• Try killing the app from settings and restart the app, while in dark mode

It is the same with the beta version:

Hm. There are multiple colors in that screenshot that look off. Could there be some operating system - wide theming solution messing with the app?

The screenshot was with "SC Dark, colored bubbles" and the phone set to dark mode. If I set my phone to light mode and chose the "SC Dark" theme it then look like your screenshot where the code blocks have a black background. It seems my OS is messing with black backgrounds when in dark mode.

Yes, that seems to be the case. Some OSes have an option to "force dark theme", maybe you can check if you have such thing enabled.
