Description
Under Debian with Gnome 3.28, where the GTK theme consist of generally dark brown backgrounds and bright yellow texts, QGIS's interface integrates pretty well. Except for text notes, where the note-editing form displays a white background (which appears odd but somewhat legitimate) and where the default text color is yellow, like my GTK theme, which is then barely visible on the white background. At that point, when the pop-up editing form is just opened, the color-picker for the text indicates black whereas what I write appears yellow. If I want actual black, I need to click on the color-picker, move any cursor to alter the default black color and put the cursor back to its initial position before I click on "OK".
I think that if the white background is to be kept whatever the UI theme, the text should be black by default, not the color suggested by the GTK theme. Or, there could be a background more GTK-theme-compliant and the text color that is delivered with it.

End of life notice: QGIS 2.18 LTR
Source:

QGIS 3.4 has recently become our new Long Term Release (LTR) version. This is a major step in our history – a long term release version based on the massive updates, library upgrades and improvements that we carried out in the course of the 2.x to 3x upgrade cycle.
We strongly encourage all users who are currently using QGIS 2.18 LTR as their preferred QGIS release to migrate to QGIS 3.4. This new LTR version will receive regular bugfixes for at least one year. It also includes hundreds of new functions, usability improvements, bugfixes, and other goodies. See the relevant changelogs for a good sampling of all the new features that have gone into version 3.4
Most plugins have been either migrated or incorporated into the core QGIS code base.
We strongly discourage the continued use of QGIS 2.18 LTR as it is now officially unsupported, which means we’ll not provide any bug fix releases for it.
You should also note that we intend to close all bug tickets referring to the now obsolete LTR version. Original reporters will receive a notification of the ticket closure and are encouraged to check whether the issue persists in the new LTR, in which case they should reopen the ticket.
If you would like to better understand the QGIS release roadmap, check out our roadmap page! It outlines the schedule for upcoming releases and will help you plan your deployment of QGIS into an operational environment.
The development of QGIS 3.4 LTR has been made possible by the work of hundreds of volunteers, by the investments of companies, professionals, and administrations, and by continuous donations and financial support from many of you. We sincerely thank you all and encourage you to collaborate and support the project even more, for the long term improvement and sustainability of the QGIS project.
