Improve colour contrast on title menu #6

For pretty much every default wallpaper and the LCARS theme, the title on the upper menu bar is unreadable from normal distance away from the monitor. Image

I dont see a way to easily change the font separately from the entire theme, so my suggestions for improving this are the following:

  1. Make the titlebar dark to match the dock at the bottom Image

  2. Black or white border around the text so the same colour is readable across multiple backgrounds

  3. Allow changing of the font colour separately from the main theme

I think 3. is most promising option. We should be able to compute a value that "automagically" has good contrast against the bar background, and apply the same to the title bar of views.
