So I installed a few Window Managers and Desktops to see how I like them. After uninstalling most of it I notice I now have this black background to the details of packages in YaST (see image). Anybody know how I can revert back to a white background?

Sounds like
After uninstalling most of it
Might be something to do with it
My guess is you’ll end up re-installing with only the Desktop you have
established as your favoured choice

probably that will fix the problem…
but, the OP might try opening YaST > Software management then search
on ‘yast’ and in the long list of YaST pieces which show up on the right
mark the following packages to “update” (do that by right clicking, and
then selecting “Update” and the icon will change to a small green arrow):
yast2
yast2-control-center
WELL! the OP didn’t say what desktop was kept so i don’t know which of
these should be refreshed and which should either not be refreshed or
maybe should be deleted:
yast2-qt
yast2-qt-graph
yast2-qt-pkg
yast2-control-center-gnome
yast2-control-center-qt
yast2-gtk
here is the deal: ‘qt’ is the graphical basis for KDE and gt for
Gnome…and, i think gt is also for LXDE…for Xfce i have no idea…
please note: any of the above might either fix the OP’s YaST or make it
totally unusable…read my sig’s caveat prior to proceeding.
of course, i know there is a good backup of the way the system stood
right after initial install when everything worked great! so, it is
always easy to go back to that with a quick restore!!

I kept Gnome Desktop and some KDE applications.

then you could try refreshing the gnome/gt bits of yast, it may
work…it may not…
please let us know how you get on…

Re-installing yast2 and yast2-control-center made no change. Would it be unwise to remove the kde/YaST (qt) stuff?

I was suspecting that as well. I have yast2-theme-openSUSE and yast2-theme-openSUSE-Oxygeninstalled. Would it hurt to uninstall either/both of them?
