If one uses a darker plasma theme in combination with light colorscheme (which has black color for active text), both username and password are hardly readable. Root cause is that the new QML-ized screenlocker uses widgets/background for background, which is off course logical, but that is always dark with darker themes. I'm unsure what would be appropriate solution. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable the screenlocker in combination with darker plasma-theme and lighter colorscheme Actual Results: Text of "Username" and "password" are hardly readable. Expected Results: They should be readable to the user in such combination.

Looking at the current locker, it seems as if the only part of the text is following the color scheme and/or plasma theme. The text "the computer was locked by ... " is appearing nicely in White, but the rest of the text just appears in black, which makes things hardly readable. The plasma-theme itself is showing a greyish color on black.
Marco, can you have a look at the issue? The text is indeed unreadable in the new locker.
