The first thing I would check is the "Transparency" setting on your quest watch. If it is not locked, right click on the watch window header (the top bar with the colored buttons) and the transparency slider is the last one in the menu. Make sure it is set to "(1.00)", or all the way to the right.

If your watch window is locked, you have to right click the lock symbol, then right click the header to get the menu.

While you have that menu open, check your "Fade In" and "Fade Out" settings. If you set your "Fade In" to "(1.00)" and your "Fade Out" to "(0.00)" with the transparency set to "(1.00)" you will have a transparent watch list (the frame and backdrop, but not the font) until you mouse over the header. Then the watch window will darken and you can easily see the font.

Click to get a larger view (might open in a new browser window or tab). Note: I am not using the default Carbonite color scheme.
