CudaText: Most dark themes very hard to use (bad contrast of menu bar in Qt5 version)

As such I copied white.cuda-theme-ui to black.cuda-theme-ui with the following changes:

I’ve been using the black UI theme with the cobalt Syntax theme and that has been working out well for me.

renamed to ‘theme.White-Qt5-fix.zip’ so uninstaller can remove it ok. publishing.

@eltonfabricio10 both of those themes still have the menu and tool bar light/dark contrast issue. Apart from that, like every other dark ui-theme, they are fine.
