In the default themes tooltips and popups look the same as the main window layout.
This makes it hard to see what is inside the popup / dropdown and what is in the background.

Here hides an opened popup element:
grafik

I added this CSS to make all popup elements darker to make them distinguishable.

Can we add more darkened popup elements to the default themes?

/* make all pop up elements darker, to make them more distinguishable from the main gui */
.popup,
context-menu,
menu,
menuitem > arrow,
tooltip,
popover,
popover #bauhaus-slider,
#range-current,
.dt_bauhaus_popup
{
    background-color: shade(@tooltip_bg_color, 0.5);
}

This is what the darktable theme will look like with visible popups:
