Good point Petr, contrast would be difficult to control here.  

Maybe the panel applet could borrow some of the code that is used for
nautilus to help ensure contrast between foreground lettering and the
background.  That plus shadows behind lettering to facilitate
inconsistencies might do it.  Not going to be ready for Edgy though.
