I think that the main problem is in how some programmes differently
interpret palettes.
Once I tried to make a very dark palette, while experimenting with Pinheiro,
and turned out that even the plasma dialog "configure desktop" uses
completely wrong colors!

Try for example to make window-bg black, input fields (base()) white, and
adjust text colors accordingly.

I'm very much for creating one (or more, if needed) 'test' palette so that
developers can test easily their applications in the worse use-case
scenarios.

Bye,
