Monitor numbers are almost invisible in an Ubuntu/Yaru session

[Daniel van Vugt]

[ Impact ]

Monitor numbers (displayed in the top left corner of each screen while in the Screen Display settings) are almost invisible in an Ubuntu/Yaru session. But they are big and bold in a GNOME (Adwaita) session. Both using Wayland.

[ Test case ]

Run:

  env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/.test.runtime XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland \
      MUTTER_DEBUG_NUM_DUMMY_MONITORS=2 \
      GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=ubuntu \
      dbus-run-session gnome-shell --nested --wayland --unsafe-mode

In the nested shell, open Settings, go to Display panel

The display OSDs should properly show

Now repeat on the Appearance panel too

[ Regression potential ]

Nothing really, other OSDs may have wrong theming, but it's basically impossible

[Paul (jupiter007)]

Upstream changed the style of those OSD between GS 42 and 42.1 (see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2277).

We updated Yaru in the master branch to follow these changes (see: https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/pull/3627).
But it hasn't been uploaded yet to Ubuntu 22.04.

An upload of yaru-theme to jammy-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "upload includes 450 lines of diff against cinnamon CSS which don't appear linked to any bugs in changelog".
