With the dark theme, the contacts tree in AB is still bright but the entries are hard readable.

We shouldn't use the transparency on this tree at all.

As a preparation for theming the splitters I made the splitters visually only 1px.

everything looks good except when any contact is clicked, you can see in the screenshot that anything is hardly visible.

lgtm. I am not sure what is the guideline for using dark and light background. How do you decide it?

It's depending the selected theme in Add-ons Manager. On Mac, when you use on Mac the dark theme TB, and also FX, switches to the dark theme also when the default theme is selected in Add-ons Manager.

I know there are some places, like chat, where we need some work to look correct with dark theme.

I guess this will need beta uplift, right?
