The "Opened UTC" column is barely readable on dark terminals
Using latest precompiled binary on Ubuntu 20.04.
Using Alacritty with default configuration:

Using Konsole with default configuration (or say, barely touched -- can't remember):

You can change the colors in your TaskLite config file.
Is there a good way to automatically use a better color? 🤔

Not that I know of.
I'd suggest replacing dull black to e.g. grey in the default config file, in order to provide users with a better first experience.
I literally thought the column was blank until I've seen this issue! Another default would have been good for me.
I increased the brightness by using black instead of dull black per default. However, I'd actually say it's a bug of the default color scheme of the respective terminal as all 16 (8 normal, 8 faint) colors should be readable.
Never the less, automatically detecting the background color and setting the default colors accordingly would maybe be a good solution for the problem (=> https://github.com/ad-si/TaskLite/issues/66)
