When changing the text background opacity in the chat settings, the scoreboard sidebar stays unaffected, rendering some text colors barely readable. It would be a lot more accessible if the text background setting would also change the scoreboard background (or better, a seperate slider for scoreboards)
Reproduce
Construct a scoreboard which displays some information.
/scoreboard objectives add MC-227576 dummy /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar MC-227576 /scoreboard players set @s MC-227576 12345Set the "Text Background Opacity" chat setting to 100%.
Type something into the chat and press enter.
Compare the background opacity of the chat to the information displayed in the scoreboard.
→ Notice how the "Text Background Opacity" setting does not affect the background opacity of the scoreboard overlay.
Expected Result
The setting would affect the opacity of the scoreboard background

Further investigating regarding this issue has brought to light the fact that the scoreboard overlay actually does use the same settings for chat, if you allow it to in your game options. This is in fact the whole purpose of the "Text Background" button in the accessibility settings. If you set this button to "Everywhere", the text background would be the same throughout all overlays.

I can confirm that this is an issue. Also affects 1.17.1. Here are some steps on how to go about reproducing this problem:
