Git commit bb70d9c5a61d18800480f1c5be6c6e0bd240b796 by Nate Graham.

Delete high contrast color scheme

This color scheme is a misnomer, and does not actually offer higher
contrast than other color schemes. In fact its contrast is generally
worse. As a result it hurts more than it helps. A true "high contrast
mode" would require changes to the QStyle to make UI elements larger or
change their borders to actually offer an improvement for people who
need higher contrast than what is offered by Breeze and Breeze Dark.

Accordingly, let's delete this color scheme and migrate current users to
Breeze Dark, which is the shipped theme that looks closest to it, and
has *better* contrast in many ways.

This would be an easy fix, but first we need to decide--or rather,
re-decide--what we want Breeze High Contrast to look like in the first place.
Because right now it looks like an old worse version of Breeze Dark which
actually has less contrast in many places, such as the what's described here in
this bug report. Same issue with Bug 442286.

Unfortunately I believe this is still a problem. 

We've actually been working to solve the problem of white text on the awfully
bright Plasma Blue everywhere.

Noah and Carson, would you want to fix the high contrast theme in the meantime?

Yes sadly the icon theme does not get switched by default. As Andrew said we'll
work on with some better color options for a more readable titlebar. Thank you
for the report!

Thanks for reporting Erica. We'll work to improve that color scheme and post
candidate color schemes here that we hope you might help us test.
