Intention:
Use certain UI elements, because they are part of the functionality of Wikipedia.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Set a dark theme for the window manager on Linux
- Go to either Flow or the search bar underneath "Search results" when your result is not immediately redirected (These two forms both have the issue - not sure if there are other UI elements that also do).
- Type any text into the box
Actual Results:
The text is barely readable; dark grey text on a dark grey background.
Expected Results:
Light grey text on a dark grey background, as one would see in the Wikitext editor when following the same steps detailed above. Dark text on a light background would also suffice.
Reproducible: Always

OS: Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon
