After the UI design was updated to consistently use the semi-transparent background style in 24w09a, there is a new inconsistency in the UI that wasn't very noticeable under the old design.
In the "Select World" and "Play Mutliplayer" screen, the texts for world information and server MOTD does not have text shadows unlike most other texts. The lack of shadow on a semi-transparent background makes it slightly awkward to read the text.

Indeed, this issue appears to have been introduced by 15w32b (the version that added world thumbnails). This should definitely be fixed sometime soon to accommodate the recent UI rework.
It might be worth checking the multiplayer screen since it probably became subject to this issue at a different point in time.
I believe this issue has existed since vanilla 1.9, but hasn't been noticed and reported until now.
