From bug #1:
Several areas of the workbench seem to be hard coded to having a white background. This basically makes a really good looking tool like MySQL Workbench virtually inaccessible and unusable for me.

Fixed as of the upcoming Workbench 5.2.43, and here's the changelog entry:
On Linux, the "WB_FORCE_SYSTEM_COLORS" environment variable was
added. Enabling this variable (with a value of 1) will disable
MySQL Workbench from using its own color scheme.
Example usage:export WB_FORCE_SYSTEM_COLORS=1.
This is useful for certain conditions, like when using the
HighContrastInverse or GnomishDark system themes.

This used to drive me crazy too... until now, I just found an solution that a reddit user posted here: Disable GTK theme for specific application? | reddit
Basically you edit the command to run the workbench app by right clicking on its desktop icon. Then prepend the command field with the following text:
env GTK_THEME=Adwaita
so in full it reads: env GTK_THEME=Adwaita mysql-workbench %f
Click Save, then start the application.
Note that this config you specify will be saved by default in your home folder: .local/share/applications/mysql-workbench.desktop file
So now you can enjoy your desktop dark theme and not suffer using workbench too!
