It is very strange. I checked on Win10 and Ubuntu 18.10, and I have proper dark theme style in Materials settings.
I do not know what to suggest to do. I can say it works well on my computer.

This may happen, because this dialog uses the system palette instead of our internal dark theme. This is an example how it looks like in my Windows laptop:

That being said, if system palette indicates to use black background and we use black text (or the other way around), this will happen.

Developers, look at internal ticket CURA-5955

Have the same issue

I was able to partially mitigate this using environment variable QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE=Desktop
After using this variable my menus and other elements are rendered mostly correctly but still the materials List/View is using incorrect palette.

Yes, the materials list there was custom made without the palette since the system-styled elements were not powerful enough for what we needed it to do.

Thanks yodor for the prompt.
Used the command "QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE=Desktop /home/User/Cura/AppRun".
It helped me.

Same here. Using the last AppImage in KDE Neon, dark theme.

And with "QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE=Desktop" it looks not much better, even main menu have become unreadable:
