Feature description

The Fossify Launcher would be improved by having a feature to select the color of icon labels on the home screen. Additionally, it could be determined automatically if the average color of the wallpaper is close enough to white.

Why do you want this feature?

Right now, if the wallpaper is too bright or pale, text on icon labels in the home screen can be nearly unreadable, as it's always drawn in white, with a somewhat weak text shadow. Some other launchers either adapt to that situation automatically by changing the label color to black, or allow that option to be set manually.
