*Please* support high-contrast theme

Some of us need to use high contrast theme on windows but Gluon Scene Builder doesn't support this theme. (What's strange is that other JavaFX applications do support this). Specifically, switching to a high-contrast theme makes the application unusable because the background of the menus doesn't actually go black.

Does SB support high-contrast themes now? If not, I'd like to close this and reopen as a new issue to move to the top of the list to make the UI easier to use for those who need this.

SceneBuilder only offers 2 themes for the application itself, the Default theme and the Dark theme. For FXML editing and previews Scene Builder offers multiple styles, including at least 2 high contrast themes. However, both high contrast themes look weird to me, as one only can distinguish text, no shapes.

So Modena and Caspian themes work well, also the Gluon ones with exception to all offered HighContrast themes. Something appears broken to me.

Also in terms of accessibility, Scene Builder should support this. The way you proposed @AlmasB is appropriate, so we could also scope the new issue more specific.

I see following opportunities:

• make offered FXML high contrast themes work (!)
• add high contrast themes to Scene Builder preferences

Built in application themes:

Offered themes for FXML styling:

Modena standard theme:
