I strongly agree that this UI needs more background contrast, and I volunteer to spearhead the initiative to improve that (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369676) However, this patch as is doesn't //require// that. We as the upstream vendor have control over the default--and the default looks good and has sufficient contrast: Screenshot: F5753279: KScreenLocker.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F5753279> Real-world, on my wife's laptop: F5687394: IMG_0792.jpg <https://phabricator.kde.org/F5687394> As downstream vendors, distros will also have a responsibility to ensure that the contrast is sufficient until https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369676 is resolved (which again I will commit to getting done). Since this change would go into 5.13, for quite some time the only distros that could possibly be affected will be rolling release distros. @graesslin, if you can find it in your heart to approve this, I will commit to reaching out to them and helping them make any necessary adjustments.
