Describe the bug

There is a black background which is quite bad to see and also hides some text at times. This appears both in the graph mode and in the disassembly mode, but in particular in the disassembly mode it is very bad.

To Reproduce

Just open a binary and go to Graph or Disassembly.

Expected behavior

A much cleaner color theme, at least by default.

Research direction
Investigate the default theme files in Cutter (likely in src/themes/ or qss/). Look for the stylesheets controlling the Graph and Disassembly views. The issue mentions black backgrounds hiding text, so focus on color definitions for QPalette or specific widget styles. Check comments in the issue for any suggested color changes or maintainer input. Test potential fixes with different binaries to ensure readability across modes.
