ColorStyle of Textfield hard coded to Theme.light.hintColor

[dh1tw]

I would like to put a Textfield over a dark (black) background. Since the hintColor is hard coded to Theme.light.hintColor, the Textfield is barely / in-visible on a dark background.

Could you provide a property to check if the Textfield is on a dark background?

For example as realised for the Checkbox component.

TextField is not the only component suffering from the issue of having Theme.light hardcoded
Adding a darkBaground property in those components and handling it would be a solution.
There's a quick list :

• All of BaseListItem descendants (it could even be guessed from backgroundColor with Theme.lightDark())
• MenuField
• TextField

Some components have a color property so we can change it manually, but adding a darkBackground property would be useful.
Example of those :

• Subheader
• Label
• ActionButton
• ...

And some components are well behaved and have a darkBackground property :

• CheckBox
• RadioButton
• TabBar (could be simplified)
• ...

I support oKcerG's suggestion of adding a darkBaground property to components that involve displaying of text that could have a dark background. It would also be good to consider things like the MenuField that has an underline which also should be a lighter color if you have a dark background. Thanks!
