Description:
The MySQL Workbench layout is largely unreadable if the 'Dark' appearance is set in the Mojave preferences.

This ticket has screenshots of the issue, but the bug was marked as a 'duplicate feature request', when it is in fact a bug: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=90751

How to repeat:
1. Turn on the 'Dark' appearance in Mac OS Mojave
2. Open MySQL Workbench
3. Notice that some screens show unreadable text (light text on light bg and vice-versa)

Suggested fix:
Update look and feel to work with the latest version of Mac OS's Dark Appearance UI.

This is the UI when 'Dark Mode' on Mac OS is enabled. This looks like a bug, not a feature as some text is unreadable

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the original bug instead.
