Dear Maintainer,

I am writing to you to report a bug with Epiphany's appearance, which hinders
usability slightly.

When using a dark theme, Epiphany's security notice's text is invisible.
(Please see the attached "screenshot-1.png".)

For example, when I use the "adwaita-dark" theme for the Mate or Xfce desktop
environment, I cannot see the text, because both the font colour and the
background are white.

On external websites, this problem is common, but in this case the issue is
with Epiphany itself.

A temporary solution is to use a light theme, such as "adwaita", or to
highlight the text, as in the attached "screenshot-2.png".

I am fairly confident that this is also the case when using a dark theme on
GNOME or other desktop environments, although I am not completely sure.

I would be grateful if you could look into this matter.

Kind regards,
Geoff Tree
