Oh, thank you.
I did not realize that changing the menu "background" color affected that text. The top bar background color changes immediately, but I had to restart the game for that text color to apply. I happened to have it selected on black as a choice for the top bar, and did not associate the settings change with that text as it was probably the next day I noticed.
I feel a bit silly knowing this was something I changed, but I agree there could probably be an improvement anyway. :)
