Refs https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/9114
I'm interested in contributing to this issue, so before I start working it, would you mind sparing your time explaining what the fix will be like and pointing me to some resources to get started.
@sreenath-tm Welcome to JabRef. First step would be to look into https://devdocs.jabref.org/getting-into-the-code/guidelines-for-setting-up-a-local-workspace.html
For some information on Themes: https://docs.jabref.org/advanced/custom-themes Basically, the Dark.css inherits from the Light.css and overwrites the color. So you need to set a different color for this textfield /highlight
I too am interested and started yesterday to get my environment setup, thank you for the guide! I am having an error that I haven't found a workaround to yet. My build is successful, but when I try to run in windows cmd prompt using .\gradlew run I get an error:

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.`
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
@sreenath-tm - would you care to collaborate? I have to complete this for a school assignment.
@John-Poulos that issue has been fixed now, you may need to update/sync your fork
I'm looking to contribute, can you assign this issue to me, please?
Usually I would say first come, first served, but since both @John-Poulos and @sreenath-tm seem to not have created a pull-request within the last month and also have not voiced opposing views towards the request of NamanHimmatramka, I assume they have given up and will assign this to @NamanHimmatramka
closing this issue in favour of #9340, which is a duplicate issue, but well explained.
I assume @NamanHimmatramka has chosen a different project to work on as well.
