[1.9] City Mash-up signs are now extremely difficult to read because of the white text change to signs

Verification Build: 1.9.0.0 Beta 1

Partner Rank: 3

Summary:
In 1.9 there was a change made where all signs have white text shown by default instead of black. I realize this was probably intentional but because of that, our white signs in City Mash-up are now extremely difficult if not impossible for some people to read.

Impact:

Very difficult to read text causing a significant loss in detail and appeal of the world and texture pack hurting our business's image

Repro Steps:

1. Download City-Mashup from Store
2. Create a world
3. Observe the issue

Observed Results: 

Expected Results: 
Readable text (black text)

Screenshots/Videos attached: 

Yes

 

NOTE: I realize that this change was probably intentional but it is quite a hefty task for us to update map and even then the signs are useless for most players in their own worlds because most people don't know how to use color formatting. I think it would be beneficial to have old content on the marketplace default to black text and then add a tag in the manifest or using min_engine_version to specify the new white text default.

Also, I realize that this seems like a small aesthetic thing but I feel it deserves a ranking of 3 for the image we are trying to cultivate as a business, this has a larger effect on us than a minor cosmetic annoyance.
