Description

The active and inactive buttons feel like very similar, causing difficulties in identifying which one is active.
It would be nice to have a bit more contrast in those buttons' background color.

In the picture, "No" is selected, but it is visually weaker to know.
Pressing SPACE BAR would send ENTER to "No" button.

Obtaining the above dialog/prompt:
LMMS > Ctrl + O > Try to delete an LMMS File.

Research direction

Reproduce the dialog with LMMS > Ctrl + O > Try to delete an LMMS File, focusing on the No button selected with the Space bar. Locate the GUI code for this prompt and its active/inactive button styling. Done means the selected and unselected buttons have clearly distinguishable background contrast without changing the dialog's behavior.
