This is a variant of the issue we've seen with desktop icons and UI elements on the login screen: there is no way to ensure legibility against arbitrary backgrounds without a contrast-adding element of some sort, like a shadow or a flat color background There is no other way. Now, that doesn't mean that the contrast element needs to be a horizontal bar at the bottom of the delegate like I've got it here. @andreask posted a mockup of something that looked pretty nice to me: F6582097: Screenshot_20190201_163049.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6582097> But there has to be //some// contrast-adding element, or else it is inevitable that the icon will be illegible with some backgrounds.
