ikhal's edit form is unreadable due to the colorscheme (alacritty, base16) #1033

Thanks for developing khal, it is awesome!

When I edit an event in ikhal, I get the following in my terminal

2021-05-01T08:41:23,075772393+02:00

As you can see, the form's inputs are quite unreadable. I'm not sure how to solve it.

I've tried changing the theme to light in the [view] section of the config but it makes things worse.

My $TERM is screen-256color, and my terminal is alacritty. My colorscheme is base16-cupertino-256 in alacritty. I'm using the Sway windows manager under Wayland but I doubt that has anything to do with it.

Thank you for that report!

I am not sure on how to best change the defaults, if you have some suggestions, your help is very much appreciated!

If this random image I found on the internet is a good representation of base16-cupertino-256, white is basically defined as dark gray, isn't it? This would make finding a solution that also works for other colorschemes a bit harder.

But honestly, I never looked too much into these issues myself, so help is definitively appreciated.

Best way to fix this, is probably letting users define their own colorschemes though.

I'm also having issues with the color scheme in ikhal with alacritty. I use a different color scheme but it's the exact same issue, text will not display well on the highlighting.
