Description
When using the light Mint-Y theme in Linux Mint 22.3, nemo-terminal (Nemo embedded terminal) has a dark background (#222226) with white text, while the rest of the desktop is light.
This creates an undesirable contrast. Root cause: /usr/share/themes/Mint-Y/gtk-3.0/gtk.css hardcodes dark colors for vte-terminal.terminal-screen regardless of theme variant.
Expected: light theme → light terminal background.
Actual: light theme → dark terminal.
Workaround: override via ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, then restart nemo. Please fix in the theme package.

Start with /usr/share/themes/Mint-Y/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and inspect the vte-terminal.terminal-screen rules that hardcode the dark colors. Compare the light and dark theme variants, then verify in nemo-terminal that the light Mint-Y theme uses a light background with readable text after restarting Nemo.
