How to disable dark theme for MySQL Workbench

I am looking for a way to manually disable the dark theme setting as it hurts my eyes while looking at the database tables. I couldn't find any settings in preferences. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Solution

    To disable dark theme: defaults write com.oracle.workbench.MySQLWorkbench NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool yes

    To enable dark theme again: defaults write com.oracle.workbench.MySQLWorkbench NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool no
