fix: Ensure text in nav menu account header is legible

The user might have set a profile header image that is close to the
colour of the text in the account header in the left navigation menu.
This can make the text difficult or impossible to see.

Work around this by drawing a partially transparent scrim behind the
text so it's always displayed over a background that makes the text
legible.

Fixes #298
