Research direction

Start by reading the Places plugin documentation on its existing background and search-box theming options, then inspect how search history results are rendered. Done means the text color for search results or history can be customized and remains readable with dark themes, while injected places continue to work.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

places-plugin

The places plugin needs more options for theming. Currently limited to background and search box according to the docs.

If you use a dark theme the text in your search history cannot be themed. Places you inject seem to be fine, but it would be nice to see that themable as well.
