Dunno. The problem before was that for its size, it was more of a not-so-solid stroke outline, while now it's more of an actual glow - although the opacity may be a bit high. It still looks odd on the darker section of the background.
If lowering the opacity a bit doesn't make it any better, I'd probably play with the font a bit instead. Maybe it's the fact that it's thin that makes it stand out a bit too much.
Then again, maybe it's just me that has weird taste. I'd actually call it likely. <.<
