D24997: [Lock & Login Screens] Don't use a black shadow with black text

[Nathaniel Graham]

ngraham added a comment.


  I think we have a greater conceptual problem here. If the lock and login screens are able to display arbitrary text colors from the user's color scheme, we will never be rid of these kinds of problems. I see two practical solutions:
  
  - Hardcode white as the text color and black as the shadow color and don't respect the color scheme
  - Tweak the ui yet again (ugh) to replace the text shadows with rounded rectangles using a contrasting color from the color scheme
  
  Otherwise we will be playing whack-a-mole forever, and will have to live with really ugly results for many cases (e.g. the case where the blurred wallpaper becomes lightened and the text is dark).
