Transparent Background Makes Text Harder To Read Without Dark Translucent Boxes

I noticed that depending on the background you use, including the default one for transparent (https://lichess.org/assets/images/background/landscape.jpg), places where there's no translucent dark box for text such as the streamer list and feed can be very hard to read. Basically wherever there isn't some darkening to give text contrast, the text can blend in with the background you're using. Of course you could just use some dark background without any light areas, but that is an odd sort of restriction as dark boxes for the text like the rest such as here would solve it in general to let you use anything.
