Hi Mirek, Kendy, all,

I would opt for changing the background, but instead of black, how about
a
shade of gray.
Here's how I would imagine it:

I tried to keep it distinct from the way a style with white text and a
colored background would be displayed  -- hopefully, it's apparent which
one is which from the mockup.

I am not really sure this is the best idea here, because it only looks a
bit different than a normal black background. Additionally, the rounded
outline doesn't really work well together with the square selection.


You're right.


Another idea I had was to not change anything about the style itself,
but just add a "warning" triangle ( /!\ ) or some other icon on the
right side that would say "this style might be unreadable". What do you
think?


I really like the idea, and I prefer it to Christoph's suggestion.
Rather than a warning, though, I'd make the icon (and its on-hover label)
more informative, as a) on a black background, white text would be readable
and black unreadable, so the label would be false then, and b) as Christoph
points out, the preview has a font size limit, so there's an icon needed
for that as well.

So I would propose these triangular icons:
* white text: a white "a" on a black background
* large text: the lower part of a large "a" cut off by the rectangle shape
