Your wallpaper is ugly.![]()
And even then iOS 7 doesn't always succeed often still using white for text even when the background is quite light behind the status bar area, making it quite hard to make out much there.There is no solution, I'm afraid. Wallpapers with a lot of contrast do not work well with iOS 7. The OS tries to pick the right colour itself, either white or black. iOS 6 has a thicker shadow behind white text, and the text itself was bold.
Anybody else have an issue with reading time and other info at the top if you have semi-white in your wallpaper? It is unreadable and would have thought Apple would have seen this before. See attached. Is there a fix to this?
That wallpaper looks like actual wallpaper!
But yes, readability all over iOS 7 has become varying degrees more difficult than before.
You're going to have to choose a wallpaper that the device allows rather than the one you want.
Goes against Apple's romantic notion that devices should just work flawlessly without having to be messed with.
Can you post your wallpaper?
