Hey,

thax for your bugreport. It is a know issue upstream.
Plasma Desktop is not affected by it.

A workaround is to use another platformtheme.
Run nextcloud-desktop with an environment variable e.g.:

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3 nextcloud-desktop

(replace gtk3 with kde, breeze etc.) [1]

Regards,

Dear Maintainer,

When attempting to add a new Folder Sync Connection, the error message text that the selected local folder is already used is unreadable when using the Adwaita-Dark theme within the MATE desktop environment.
The error message "Please choose a different location. <location> is already being used as a sync folder." follows the theme's text colour correctly,
and so switching to the Adwaita theme (which is a 'light' theme) makes the foreground text black/dark, so becomes readable on the light-yellow background of the error message box.

Refer to the attached screenshots for clarification.

Regards,
Krystal.
