Can we please have a Layer Panel background in light UI that is as bright as the others? So hard to read

Almost all of the panels in the Light UI are now wonderfully easy to read in 2.0.3, and very much appreciated!  The Layers Panel is still very dark, and has a very strange characteristic.  Unless one changes the name of each layer, the words are very dim and grey.  But just double-click on the name and even if it is the same, the replacement name will be a nice clear DARK black.    (This is also the case in Designer and Publisher.)

I'm just trying to find out why this is and if there's a reason for it or if it's just simply a small bug. I would personally prefer the text to be 'lit up' all the time, to be honest.

Though the layer names become a crisp white for me, not black?

I believe this is the known bug with automatic layer names (which are deliberately dimmer than custom names) not being changed by the Text Contrast slider in Preferences.

From left to right: Text Contrast set to Min, Default, and Max - there's no change for the automatic layer names

Yes I've just had it confirmed unnamed layers just show the layer type and should be greyed out a bit. 

I'll ask if the Preferences sliders should affect this.

To confirm:

- Light & Dark UI should use slightly greyer/softer layer names for layer types. Layer types are unnamed layers.

- The Preferences sliders should not affect this

Currently, Dark UI does this correctly, however Light UI does not. 

macOS seems fine so it's just Windows affected. Issue logged.

While it's good that the layer types are slightly greyer, it would be good if they were also changed by the preference sliders. For text layers these automatic layer names show the text string rather than the layer type and they're very difficult to read compared to v1. These are macOS screenshots.
