With the dark high contrast modes disabled text, links, and tool tips use the wrong color. I tested this on Windows 10 with high contrast mode No. 1. (For disabled text and links we have custom code in Kleopatra which sets the correct colors once on start-up, but this breaks when the user switches the color scheme.)
Windows uses white text on black with white frame:

Fixed. If high-contrast is active then tool tips now use the same colors as buttons (e.g. white text on black for Kontrast No. 1).
Moreover, the colors for disabled text, links, and tool tips are now always correct even if one activates/deactivates high-contrast and/or switches the color scheme.
