Bug Description

Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS KDE Plasma 5.12.7

When i use notes in transparent design it is unusable over dark background/wallpaper because the text are always dark.

Solution:

in
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.notes/contents/ui/main.qml

at section

style: PlasmaStyle.TextAreaStyle {
            //this is deliberately _NOT_ the theme color as we are over a known bright background
            //an unknown colour over a known colour is a bad move as you end up with white on yellow
            textColor: plasmoid.configuration.color === "black" ? "#dfdfdf" : "#202020"
        }

i changed
textColor: plasmoid.configuration.color === "black" ? "#dfdfdf" : "#202020"

to
textColor: plasmoid.configuration.color === "black" ? "#dfdfdf" : "white"

and it works for me after reboot.

Please fix that for dark background.
Better there comes a feature for notes to make textcolor choosable.

Thanks
