I am running FileBot 5.0.3 on Slackware Linux under KDE Plasma 5.
When I load some videos in FileBot, but before matching, the highlighted area is light gray with white text. This makes it very difficult to read. (Once matched, the gray bar changes to blue and everything is easily readable.)
I tried playing with the Plasma themes, and none seemed to make a difference. I also tried with both Darcula and FlatDark themes and both showed the same coloring. Is this something on my end or is there a way I can adjust this without moving to a light theme?
Thanks for your work!

Re: Dark Theme Difficult to Read Selection Before Matching
No idea. Looks like it's somehow inheriting some grey text color. If it's a common issue in different LaF implementations, then you could look into general Java Swing issues / configuration on Linux.
I'm getting white text on macOS:
You could try switching to the GTK LaF implementation:
EDIT:
The issue seems to be the text focus color, rather than the text color. Grey text is normal in Dark theme, but selected items will switch to white text, when in focus / selected. But that seems to be not happening in your environment.
What are your system font color settings? What text colors does Dolphin use?
EDIT 2:
FileBot r9827 may fix the issue.

Re: Dark Theme Difficult to Read Selection Before Matching
Sorry for the massive delay. I haven't used filebot for a few weeks and I guess I didn't have the email replies enabled and forgot to check back in.
(I'm fine with either. This is just a minor annoyance and obviously doesn't prevent me from using the program.)
Thanks for looking into it!
I can confirm that the text color does not change to white even after matching.The issue seems to be the text focus color, rather than the text color. Grey text is normal in Dark theme, but selected items will switch to white text, when in focus / selected. But that seems to be not happening in your environment.
The "System" theme changes it to the light theme (white background) and colors work fine with that (blue highlight and black text).You could try switching to the GTK LaF implementation:
Font color settings are set to "Breeze Dark" (I believe this to be the default dark theme of KDE's Plasma 5). Dolphin uses a blue highlight and white text.What are your system font color settings? What text colors does Dolphin use?
Is there a way to test r9827 on my system or will it just be on the next program update?FileBot r9827 may fix the issue.

Re: Dark Theme Difficult to Read Selection Before Matching
You can download and install r9827 (or higher) by downloading the *.deb / *.tar.xz package (whichever works our Linux distribution) and double-clicking on it. The *.tar.xz package won't install onto your system, but can just extract and run, and symlink into the $PATH manually if desired:

Re: Dark Theme Difficult to Read Selection Before Matching
Thank you for reporting back! The highlight text color will be the explicit default on for platforms with the next release.
