@glyph I don’t see the option for “looks fine, even good sometimes, but the catastrophic legibility failures are a serious problem, and if you turn on accessibility options like ‘reduce transparency’ and/or ‘increase contrast’ it’s pretty nice, actually, so maybe that should have been the default”?

@minrk I'm really curious about where folks are hitting catastrophic legibility failures in live use; rather than, say, in a screenshot. Have you experienced these directly?

@glyph yeah, my lock screen is a fairly pale yellow birch tree. The default white/translucent no-border text is illegible over that. Turned on reduce transparency, and it looks fine. Not to mention on upgrade it automatically turned depth effect on, literally hiding my widgets entirely behind a tree.
