Please retest in a current release 25.2 or 25.8, 24.2 is well past EOL.

Insufficient details, unable to reproduce on Windows builds

Both the "Manage Names..." dialog and the Name Box of selected ranges fully respond to Dark/Light mode os/DE color theme changes with contrasting fg text on bg field. They also correctly respond when a LO Appearance theme has been selected and set enabled.

No apparent issue with theming this element of the UI.

Please reopen if testing on a current release build with a different Desktop Environment exposes continuing issue.
