Description

Environment

TeXstudio: 4.2.1
Qt: 5.15.3
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1
TeX distribution: texlive

Expected behavior

The background color should be adjustable in the Syntax Highlighting settings

Actual behavior

The background color is unaffected by the Syntax Highlighting settings if Orion Dark style is used. Once the style is changed for example to Adwaita-Dark the background colors are set correctly

How to reproduce

Set: Options > Configure TexStudio > General > Style --> Orion Dark Then choose any color in the "Background color" column of: Options > Configure TexStudio > Syntax Highlighting > Basic highlighting -> background

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the Orion Dark style file (likely a .qss or .css) and trace how it sets the editor background. Then examine the Syntax Highlighting settings code in texstudio to find where the background color should be applied, and identify why the Orion Dark style overrides it.
