There are cases (based on the active window contents) that the elements of the logout screen aren't readable. Making the background of the logout screen darker seems to fix the problem.

There /shoud/ be a blur applied that's not being shown in the original screenshot.
Can I see the output of:
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation

There is no blur effect (I'm running it in a Virtual Machine with no 3D acceleration).
Here is the output of the qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation command

According to mart's suggestion there is already a rectangle, so there is no need to add a new one (the "after" screenshot is also updated to reflect this).
It seems to me that the "best" value for opacity would be 0.8 (having 0.75 or less is still not clear enough)

I just tested it in a normal PC (ie not Virtual Machine) with 3D acceleration and the background is indeed blurred as davidedmundson said.
So I'm abandoning this, as it seems a very minor issue.

FWIW it could still make sense. the text is not super readable sometimes, as it's gray (at least on my system).
