Bug Description

On Lubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04, lubuntu adds its own config for xscreensaver look and feel. It is a nice feature but dark blue text (#033C71) on darker blue background (#00182C) has too low contrast to read. The contrast is 1.61:1 and does not satisfy WCAG.

My patch sets text color to white and key color to #1e73be (the header of https://lubuntu.me/), with some improvements:

- Use same fontsize on buttonFont and labelFont, or [New Login] and [OK] buttons have different styles.
- I'm new at Xdefaults file, but it seems that the line 576 "! (xrdb prevention kludge: whole file) */" should be placed at the bottom of the file.

The color scheme is just a proposal. Since it is a design and branding matter, I hope it is reviewed and disccussed well by the core team.

Oops sorry about that. We don't really have anyone on the team who's really a graphic design expert. Heck, I had to look up what WCAG was. This is a reasonable change, I think.

now that you've shown yourself to be a mindful graphic designer and one capable of creating a patch, no less, you want to take over that responsibility for Lubuntu in general? :)
