I would not score a translucent interface from the launch screenshot. The test set should include worst-case backgrounds: text behind text, food photos behind map controls, a bright outdoor screen, a long menu, and the accessibility states people actually use. If the interface only passes on the wallpaper chosen for the keynote, the score is inflated. The new transparency controls are useful, but the denominator is still: how many common screens are readable before the user changes anything?
