See screenshot. Basically when you click on a networked machine in the tree, you see a view of all the shares. All my other windows are white on black, but this one doesn't seem to have any way to config the colors, so it's black on white.
At least currently, the \\server level (but not anything below it) is delegated to the Windows shell. (Since you can't do much in that folder except double-click something to navigate into it, so we can't add much value by handling it natively, at least in terms of functionality. We might handle it natively in the future just to help with aesthetics for people using dark themes.)
The Windows shell doesn't support color customization.
Although you can turn on Preferences / Display / Options / Enable background images in virtual folders to apply the background color to that folder, it won't work well with dark themes because the text color will still be black, and you'll end up with black on black.
(Same with Recycle Bin.)

Ah, That makes sense. Yeah, it's a bit of a "bang" for people using Dark themes (like me), but you are right in that there's not a lot to do on that particular panel.
Well, I guess I'll call it a suggestion and move on.
Thanks for the response, though.

Could be necroposting, but are there any improvement in this regard?
As V13 overhauled theming very significantly.
Checked DO Colors and Windows Colors sub menus where coloring happens, but couldn't find anything with network.
In Opus 13, it should have a dark background automatically if you're in dark mode.
You can't give Network a custom color or background color just for that one folder (without changing the colors of other things), but it doesn't have to be white anymore.
