git-gui: Why are the main panels no longer white?

Hi!

I'm using git-gui compiled from git v2.29.0 under Kubuntu 10.04, and the git-gui's four main panels are now some odd grey colour instead of white.

If I revert git-gui commit c02efc13638447 (git-gui: improve dark mode support) I get my white panels back.

I'm hoping there's some magic setting I can tweak somewhere to make the panels white, instead of hacking git-gui's code. But for the life of me I can't figure out where this grey-ish colour is coming from, what "theme" I might be using (I don't bother with "dark mode" stuff), or how to specify the colours *I want* for things like Text.Background "from the option database" (whatever that is).

Can someone direct me onto the right path to fix these colours?
Thanks!
