Alternatively, you could use the Radiance theme instead of the default
Ambiance one. To do that, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance and
select a light theme like Radiance.

Of course, changing your whole desktop theme just for the sake of a
single application is a bit over the top but considering that Skype is
not open source, if it doesn't play well with dark themes, there's
little that can be done.
