ok, wasn't sure if vlc was gtk; loaded up lxappearance but nothing of clear (to me) relevance, experimenting so far hasn't helped. I probably need to log out and in.
I'll look around in the gtk config files too.
flying blind. good tip though - gtk, thank you.
Can you send a screenshot?

yes, not the best resolution but it's not art:
here is the window for 'multiple files' selection: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13d060QVRfN9aVStgKyB_sPmPQ70vdId1/view?usp=sharing
here is the window for 'advanced preferences': https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aVkgKLlLPF8ajxeTh_DeFPDHgco_E3yU/view?usp=sharing
note how in the 'advanced preferences' window 'Network Sync' has been selected yielding white font against blue background.
ok ... check if gtk-qt-engine-trinity / gtk2-engines-gtk-qt-trinity / gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity are installed. If yes, uninstall. Check if the checkmark in kcontrol "appereance/colors/apply colors to non-TDE ..." (free translation fom german TDE) is set. if yes, remove. lxappereance: select clearlooks. Then try again.
hat geklappt!
so I didn't have the gtk engines code installed but unselecting 'apply colors to non-TDE applications' worked.
(I think wicd crashed but reloading it looks ok.)
I haven't tried the lxappearance suggestion but no need for it now.
case closed thanks to you!
