  The icon labels should be visible enough with pretty much any wallpaper used. 
Historically in other systems there's been some cheating involved by having 
default wallpapers deliberately be darker on the left side, but you'd think we 
could come up with something better over the years :)
  
  Windows always did this right in the post XP era. I just went to check how 
they do it and it's not an outline. They have a drop shadow horizontally offset 
to the right and vertically offset to the bottom, but both not but by much 
actually. What makes it work is the strength of the shadow. It's pretty dark 
and not too blurred/smudged. They don't have a problem with this:

  If it's possible to mimic their solution with QML, the end result could work
