SUMMARY
When using a dark color scheme and widgets without a background, both the text
color and text shadow are black. This makes it next to impossible to read the
font on such widgets, especially if you're using a dark wallpaper as well.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a dark color scheme in the system settings, Breeze Dark for instance.
I'm using my own in this case, if for any reason this doesn't reproduce let me
know and I'll upload mine for comparison.
2. Make sure you have widgets on the desktop that contain text but have the
background turned off.
3. Possibly set a dark wallpaper which makes the text even harder to read.
OBSERVED RESULT
Widget text is fully black thus difficult to read when the background is dark
too.
EXPECTED RESULT
The text should be readable. I'm thinking that for a dark font the text shadow
should reverse and become white or the complementary color, it might not look
beautiful but should solve the readability issue.

speaks louder than words: In the attached image you can see how my system
monitor and weather widgets can barely be read.
