Bug Description
The blurred text shadow definitely makes text more readable on most backgrounds. But for a background that happens to have text on it (Such as our pre-release wallpaper) it's still not quite perfect.
The text would be much more readable if we slightly blurred and/or darkened the wallpaper so that any background text is no longer strictly legible and focused, and any bright spots are not pure white.

I think it'd also be appropriate to darken the background a bit to make it more legible. For example, the wallpaper with the rocks and ocean is difficult to read because it's very very light behind the text. Ideally, the text would be legible on a pure white wallpaper.
