I have just upgraded from an older version of Freeciv to a much newer version and the text is barely readable due to the bright background:

Is there any way to disable the background and just use the system theme for the background so that the text is readable?

Does that light text (and dark buttons) come from a dark system theme?
Anyway, theme option is under Game -> Options -> Local Client -> Graphics -> Theme

Yes, in newer versions of Freeciv, this often happens because the user interface (UI) overrides the system colors. Try switching the client interface to a darker color scheme or enabling the “use system colors” option (if available in your build). Thanks!
