Subject: [PATCH] gui_qt/add_translation: fix #1569

Setting the stylesheet resets the palette colors to the system default.
For the base color, that'd mean that it'd be reset to `#ffffff`.

While setting the palette from the stylesheet could be done, it's much
simpler to instead let the formatted text inherit
the background color.
