Bug Description

The dark text of the user information in the KDE4 kickoff menu is unreadable in the darker themes, and the white background of the logo clashes with the dark background. I think is is important because the darker themes are popular in KDE4 and many people showcasing Oxygen use the dark gray theme.

I don't know how easy/hard it is to have it auto adjust for the theme (probably just need light and dark versions). At the very least, a gray color for the text could be used so it is at least visible in the menu, and for the logo use a png with alpha transparency so the logo looks good.

Oh ya, that is ugly.

2 fixes need to occur here.

1) Transparent background on the Kubuntu logo
2) The text needs to be apart of the theme, that way there it changes with the rest of the theme and can be readable.

Thanks for this report!
