Blurry date and dtime

In addition, in the view before entering the password, the date and time is somewhat blurry.

IIRC we have some detection for whether you have a light or a dark background and it applies different visual effects; maybe it's mis-identifying things here.

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2025-01-09 20:17:08 UTC

The detection appears to be working properly with a plain white background, at least in git master.
