GTK Theme Issues with XCTU on Linux

Hello everyone,

while using XCTU on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04.1, system GTK theme 'Yaru-dark'), I found out that the default GTK theme that is used in the launcher and in the .desktop file is not easy to read, as there are multiple white texts on clear backgrounds and black texts on darker backgrounds.

For reference, this is the .gtkrc-eclipse that comes with the latest version of XCTU :

style "compact" {
  GtkButton::default_border={0,0,0,0}
  GtkButton::default_outside_border={0,0,0,0}
  GtkButtonBox::child_min_width=0

Digi is getting ready to release a new version of the XBee Studio. I would suggest waiting for it and see if that addresses your issue or not.
