Clock on lock screen isn't very readable with very bright backgrounds

[Iain Lane]

[ Description ]

On very bright backgrounds, such as the pictured one which is one of disco's default backgrounds, the clock on the lockscreen is a bit unreadable.

[ Fix ]

Increase the shadows a bit to make the text stand out. See the attached screenshots for reference.

[ QA ]

Confirm with some bright backgrounds that the legibility is better than before (doesn't have to be perfect, just not get worse and ideally be better).

[ Regression potential ]

As with any theme change, this could accidentally break other parts of the shell (probably subtly given the nature of the change). This particular change is in the shell - not the GTK - theme, so look out for breakage there.
