That doesn’t actually work. I just changed that color from white to black,
saved it as a new scheme, closed the dialog, selected my new scheme from the
list, and clicked “Apply”. Then I locked the screen, and … nothing had changed.
Also, the white text isn’t actually fully white by default either.

And the actual full path is K → System settings → Colors → Change scheme →
Color selection [tab] → Color set [dropdown] (Generic colors ⇒ Complementary) →
Normal text.
(This is translated from German, so YMMV.)
You need to save the scheme as a new one, because the „Apply“ button inside the
scheme editing dialog does nothing, and your changes will be lost otherwise.

Or do I need to restart something or log out once?

How did you make that screenshot by the way? The dialog is on top of the lock
screen. Photoshop^WGimp, or is there a way to test the lock screen?

Wow, this bug exists since 2012! When KDE 4 was still normal. More than 5½
years now.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302968#c0

An example of where the “nobody’s responsibility” culture of most open source
projects fails.

And the most-discussed thing in those years, was whether the user should be
treated like a moron. (Which usually follows the great motto of coprorations:
“Treat the user like a moron *until he is*.” Shifting the bell cure of
stupidity downwards, resulting in even dumber users and hence even lower
expectations, in a vicious cycle that ends up with nightmares like iOS or
Windows 8 or Ubuntu Unity or MS Bob and Clippy.)

…

I tried to add this functionality myself. But the KDE code is a combination of
such horribly bad and outdated languages and massive gigantic heaps of
boilerplate and bloat, together with a lack of actual documentation, that it
hurts too much to even try to understand it. So I understand well, why things
like this aren’t just fixed by a volunteer (or even regular).

When you discover you’re riding a dead horse, … dismount.

*dismounts*

Oh, and with a black background, the outer glow would just be invisible. :)

Since this is still a problem …

I just tried that, and it doesn’t work.

I switched my theme to Oxygen, changed the file you mentioned, saved it,
switched the theme back to Breeze. Nothing changed.

I’m for giving the text a subtle outer glow of the opposite brightness than the
text. So as if the white text had a lamp on its back side, that emits light,
except the “light” is black. That way, it looks "white on white" but still
perfectly readable, and very elegant.
The reason it looks so good, is because in the real world, a white raised
object put on top of a white table will block some light from reaching the
concave corners, and our eyes detect the difference in depth and add even more
contrast to the edges. That is the intended look.
