Does seem to be an issue with dark mode enabled for the UI on MacOS. Disabling dark mode and using light mode could be a workaround.

Oddly enough, turning the global UI setting back to dark enables readable UI... So, the work around is turn it on and off? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unfortunately I am not a Mac expert. I will bring up the issue of support for Mac dark mode to the latest Mac contributor. Internally, CrossMgrImpinj does not set the foreground text color and is picking it up from Mac OS.

Clearly, this isn't working well. I suspect the fix will be to go through every interface where it isn't working, then programmatically setting colors that work if dark mode is enabled.

I removed some overrides so that the colours follow the defaults better. I also added a check for dark mode so that the text color is set to black when CrossMgrImpinj changes the background. Hopefully this should work better in dark mode.
