Piano white - text overlay in 3D viewport

[clausbertels]

The statistics overlay in the viewport is barely readable because of the light background.

I made it black under 3D Viewport > Theme Space

It still has a dark outer glow that makes it look fuzzy currently, but can't find how to change that.

I understand that in other contexts the viewport background can change to dark. Is there an option for a background color of that text? Maybe it could be plain dark text on a rgba(1,1,1,0.5) background.

Thank you for reporting the issue. I am aware of the issue with the statics overlay being difficult to see.

Unfortunately, the background color of the text cannot be set from the theme. To change it, we have to modify the Blender source code.

As for the statics overlay text color, if make it black, it will be difficult to see in render preview mode.

The Blender preset White theme is also set to white for now, because the Piano White statics overlay text color is white.

I see, that sucks. Do you have the skill to submit a patch on developer.blender.org for this? It should be trivial code-wise, but would be a great QoL change for all light themes out there.
