Bug Description

What I already wrote on the ubuntu-phone mailing list and what many people found also as a problem is the visibility of the icons in the panel. I attached a photo from my bq. One of the photos was taken in a quite dark room so we are able to see the icons more or less clearly but then outside I'm only able to clearly see the active icon even with the brightness set on 100%. How could anyone create grey icons on a grey background?! My proposition is all icons white, and the active one alien-green like #12ed0d or light orange. Yellow will also be not the very best idea. In my opinion the best solution is light-green and white and then the background can stay as it is now.
The other member of Polish Translators Team has a MX4 with the same problem so it is not only bq.

Desired resolution:

Highlighted text in #FFFFFF
Adjust the colour value to #888888

I filed bug #1478025 today, I believe the new icon style highlights this problem even more.
