Hi, please see the attached screenshot. Is there possibly an option I can use to improve the readability of items in the task manager? It is especially bad when a dark wallpaper is used. Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

That's weird, you don't have compositing and it's not using the opaque background.

Is it still happening?

Can you past the output of
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.supportInformation  please

Sorry for the delayed response. I posted the supportinformation file. With the latest openSUSE Factory updates from the Plasma5 repo, the problem continues.

Open Systemsettings -> Desktop Behavior -> Desktop Effects

Enable "Background Contrast"

Very nice! That did the trick. Could this option possibly be enabled by default?
Thanks a lot!

It is.

No idea how yours got turned off.

When I went to change it, the checkbox was in a half-checked state, not sure what what means.

Apparently another occurrence of this bug (generating bad press for KDE) in this review:

Hi there, author of the review referenced in comment 9. When I went into Desktop Effects mine was also marked with a half check. What's the difference between a half and full check for the configuration system?
