You have been subscribed to a public bug: The notification bubbles take the font colour from Gtk's colour settings (which are changeable with the new gnome theme manager), but the background colour seems to always be a yellow-beigeish colour. If the font colour isn't dark, the text is naturally very hard to read. Attaching example screenshot.
I hope these bubbles are actually created by libnotify. :) ** Affects: notification-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Doesn't take the background colour from gtk's colours https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85760 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
