Screenshot demonstrating poor readability of username etc

The text in the lockscreen should probably have an outline or dropshadow effect - currently it is barely readable depending on the selected background image (see attached screenshot).

Built from current git master/a355bca0

@David and Jens: any ideas what we can do here?

We could set style Text.Raised on the labels to get them somewhat of a shadow. Unfortunately there's no styleWidth (to determin the stroke thickness) and the outline doesn't scale with DPI.
