5.2 for W11 Dark/Light workaround

After a recent upgrade to the Windows11 ‘Master-4646’ version I also encountered issues with the colour scheme.
When I opened up a transaction via the Ledger the background colour was a dark blue and made it difficult to read the data within the fields (like Date, Payer/Payee, Category etc).
I did try the option of adding -platform windows:darkmode=1 as argument to KMyMoney but found that it made no difference.
I have found a suitable workaround ( at least for me ), is to adjust the colour settings in Windows.
Go to Windows SettingsPersonalizationColors
Choose Accent Color … Set to Manual and select a Color from the palette shown.
I choose ‘Seafoam’, a light Teal colour which makes the data now stand out and readable.
Other people might prefer something different ( there are about 40 colours to choose from )
