Chris ,

It's already set to white. Are they destined to be the same color? I suppose something is overriding this. I don't exactly want to make a half-done theme my default theme. I understand if that's the furthest you can help. Thank you!

If it is already white, then the arrow color in the menu has a good chance to still be adhering to that setting (could still be a custom CSS rule) so changing that base color from white to something else would immediately reveal in the preview if that is indeed the case (make sure you have a menu open in the preview to see the change).

I am, however, realizing you want that arrow changed from white but keep the base color white which would definitely require a custom rule.

span.arrow.right > span {
   border-left-color: red;
}

We can also deduce that if the base color is already white then the color in that move thread dialog is governed by an alternate rule so you may need to wait for someone who can possess your forum profile like an agent from the Matrix and view that theme or export the theme to a testing forum and set it to default so others can inspect it.

I changed Text Styles > Default Forum Color to white and now the move thread menu text is white and readable. I suppose I didn't think to check that because the text was appearing the correct color everywhere else. I think I found some downsides to copying and editing my bright theme. Sometimes looking at code is easier than using the visual editor. Prior to trying to make this dark theme, I hadn't used the editor in years. So, I added what you provided to the style sheet and now we have nice white text where it's needed and nice black arrows where I need them. I think we are great for now. Thank you very much. I appreciate you, Chris .


Edit:
I made the arrows grey so they can be seen in instances where they are on a black background. Going forward, I think I'm just going to edit the style sheet directly.
