Bug description

When custom chat wallpaper is set, and I scroll back in the history, a message is presented saying "loading more messages", but its not readable because it does not have background, like a date label would have.

Steps to reproduce
  • set dark custom background wallpaper
  • load back in history
  • label not readable

Actual result:
hard to read

Expected result:
background color under the label, like date has
