Description David Chmelik 2021-07-16 03:48:04 UTC 
SUMMARY

The clipboard is usually unreadable, being medium-gray text on dark-gray background, even if you change to a light colour theme, in which case it should change back to black on white!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy text.
2. Look at text in clipboard.
3. May not be able to read it.

OBSERVED RESULT

Can't read text unless you are very close to monitor (even with 20/20 vision.)

EXPECTED RESULT

There should be sufficiently contrasting text, like a traditional book page.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Slackware64-current
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.3

Qt Version: 5.15.2

Can you please attach a screenshot that shows the issue with your theme/color scheme? It's pretty readable to me with the default Breeze theme and Breeze Light color scheme.
