Bug Description
The greeter has an option for High Contrast mode in its accessibility menu. When I enable it, the result is the opposite of what we might expect:
- Any text in the top bar becomes either dark grey on darker grey (time, keyboard layout) or light grey on lighter grey (system name).
- "Log In" buttons become easier to see, but Password fields are distorted. There appears to be some kind of rendering issue here.
- Menu backgrounds are still light grey (which is strange, because this doesn't happen in the High Contrast theme I know), and disabled menu items are rendered as dark grey on light grey.
