In the dark theme on Mac, the table header in the Problems view is colored a bright grey color, making it essentially the most prominent UI element on the screen whenever the Problems view is visible. This is undesirable, since the table header shows no useful information. It's also plain ugly.

Shouldn't the problems view on the screenshot to show the problem?

@Lars: Can't follow - the problems view with its table header is shown in the screenshot

Ah, sorry browser problem. Problem view looks fine to me. Is this a dupe of Bug 449475 which asked for the option to style table headers?

I don't think it's "fine" if the most visually prominent user interface element in the whole IDE is a bit of useless trim on the problems view.

So, while this might seem like a nitpick, such "minor" aesthetic issues are what make the Dark mode currently unusable (though it's clearly much improved as of Mars.2).

Yes, it looks to me like Bug 449475 might be a prerequisite to fixing this problem.

You misunderstood, I agree the table header looks horrible, this is why I opened Bug 449475 a while ago. I was wondering if you see more issues with the problems view but you confirmed that you also "only" see issues with the table header styling.
