I cannot easily read the font in Amarok in certain places. I can barely make it out with squinting. Specifically in the lower right hand corner, where it says: "show active track" or "track progression." Nor can I read the font in the upper left hand corner, where it says: home or folder. The font looks grey against a black background.

Note: this hard to read text only appears when the cursor runs over the icons.

Any help you can provide would be awesome.

Can you please provide a screenshot of this? You will need to use a image sharing site to do this.

Also, which colour theme do you use under KDE?
