There should be an icon of a USB stick showing up on your desktop. If you
click it the USB stick ought to be mounted and e's file manager window will
open to show the file system of the mounted USB stick.
When you close the eFM window it will also unmount the USB stick.
The settings to achieve this (which I believe are the default settings) are as
follows:
Settings > Settings Panel > Files > File Manager > Device
and select 'Show device icons on desktop'. You will need to have installed
udisks2.

I have no notifications here, other than a USB stick icon showing up on the
desktop when a USB device is plugged in.

The default theme shows white characters on grey background. It is very
readable.
