Created attachment 76434 [details] The text is very hard to read The new Air theme in 4.10 has lighter transparency than the Air theme in 4.9 and earlier. Although this is not a bad idea per se it produces some issues with dark wallpapers because black text on a dark background is hardly legible. Some widgets such as the Clock widget use white text with a drop shadow around anyway, but some don't. E.g. the text on the task manager widget is barely readable (see attached screen shot), especially when the window is minimized. I file this bug report against Oxygen because I think this needs a general solution and not a solution on a "per-widget" basis. Some widgets such as the Folder View widget use a white gradient behind text, which is one solution to the problem, but probably not the prettiest. Whatever solution you choose, the behavior should be the same throughout all widgets.
