I have the same problem in 5.12.2 release. I think the root of it is assuming that foreground in `PlasmaCore.Theme.ComplementaryColorGroup` is white(ish) and background is dark (this is true only if normal color scheme uses dark text on light background, which is default) and forcing that background is really dark (since D5036 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D5036>). My personal hack is just to replace `ComplementaryColorGroup` with `NormalColorGroup` (which obviously breaks default setup). A bit less of a hack would be choosing either `NormalColorGroup` or `ComplementaryColorGroup` depending on which one has darker background. The same problem also hits lock screen and user switcher.
