[Bug 1432584] [NEW] With a light background, white text is unreadable

 

Public bug reported:

When the desktop background is set to a light colour (close to white)
the text on the greeter becomes unreadable. I have attached a screenshot
showing 3 users are above the highlighted user with their names are not
readable (plus a bonus kitten).
