           Summary: Background color of white text is bad on dark themes

SUMMARY
The new coloring introduced in KDE plasma 5.21 for backgrounds in some contexts
does not play along with dark themes. Makes many things look out of place and
harder to read due to using a too light background on white text. The color
choices in earlier versions were a much better match (the color theme in the
screenshots is "Obsidian", and looks much worse with "Obsidian Dark").

Affected things:
- Notification pop-ups.
- General pop-ups that show when hovering the mouse over things in the taskbar.
- Background on the new applications launcher.


In the first screenshot attached (showing the application launcher), earlier
versions of plasma would use a dark gray color for the background of the
application launcher, which was similar to the color of the taskbar (at least
in breeze dark).

Same in the second screenshot, the taskbar pop-up would use a similar color as
the taskbar itself, which makes the text easier to read and looks better.
