Description

In recent version something must have happened to the background settings; previously it did inherit background properly from the theme; now it does alter from it - unfortunately picking up weird shade making screen bit hard to read.

Is there a way to control the background?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the status screen's color scheme inheritance logic in GitSavvy's source code, focusing on how background colors are applied and why they deviate from the theme.
