Qubes OS version:

R4.0 (and probably earlier)

Affected component(s):

Whichever component sets the colour of title bars of VM windows


Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open a Template VM (assuming default colour settings)

Expected behavior:

Legible title in the Title bar

Actual behavior:

Low contrast title in the Tile bar: black on slightly-lighter black.

General notes:

My suggestion is to either to hard code a special case for black, or to code a test that if the monochrome brightness of the title bar colour is lower that 50%, change the text colour to white or yellow.

My preference would be yellow, because ergonomic tests show (surprisingly) that yellow shows up better than white against a black backround
