For disability reasons I have utilised the 'Dark Theme' in SSMS. This gives me a black background and white text. I know this is not truly supported by Microsoft but is easily enabled by editing the ssms.pkgundef.
Is there any chance that Source Control screens could utilise the same colours. Currently I end up with a screen like below.

It's not currently possible with the tool however I can see where you are coming from with it.
Whilst Microsoft do not offer or support this theme it does make it trickier for the developers to dedicate time on the enhancement, if the goal posts don't sit still.
Can I ask you to lend your support to our User Voice towards this, I've located where this has come up previously and the greater the support the more chance of our developers keeping it in mind.

Could you at least make it so the text can be selected? I'd expect to be able to do that regardless.
One thing I noticed is that Apex tools have respected the theme selection for quite a while now and turn dark when dark theme is selected, so it must be possible. Here is a what Apex SQL Search looks like in dark theme:
