Describe the bug
With a transparent panel and foreground color/shadow customization enabled, global menu labels can intermittently become thick black/fuzzy text instead of using the configured foreground color and shadow.
From investigation, foreground color application updates the Kirigami theme only on direct text/icon targets. Some dynamically-created/global-menu item trees keep their text styling on container items, so child labels can continue inheriting an old/dark text color.
Steps to reproduce
- Use Panel Colorizer v7.2.0 on Plasma 6 Wayland.
- Configure a transparent panel.
- Enable foreground text/icon color customization and foreground shadow for panel widgets.
- Add a global menu widget to the panel.
- Trigger panel item updates, for example by reloading Plasma or changing visible panel widgets.
- Observe the global menu text after the foreground update.
Observed Result
The global menu can render as heavy black/fuzzy text. The foreground state appears to be applied inconsistently when the menu item tree contains non-text container nodes.
Reference screenshot:

Expected Result
The global menu should keep the configured foreground color and shadow.
