The big calendar inside the calendar tab uses the light theme colors instead of the dark theme colors when using the system theme

It should use the colors from the system dark theme.

I can reproduce using the Adwaita-dark theme on Fedora 35 Workstation, Gnome 41 desktop and the Thunderbird System theme.

Enabling "Optimize colors for accessibility" makes it dark again, but that should not be needed.

I'm sure I've tested bug 1740652 on Linux with system dark theme too. :-(

I remember testing this scenario as well.
We really need to implement some tests to be sure these things don't keep breaking.

Remove the :-moz-lwtheme-brighttext in calendar-views.css to work also with the Linux dark themes. r=aleca
