[Bug 1880018] [NEW] Notifications unreadable due to dark on dark text

 

Public bug reported:

Upon upgrade to focal notifications are black text on very dark grey
background, rendering them unreadable.  I've attached a screenshot of
how it looks after the upgrade.

Hovering over the notification in the popup makes the text turn the
correct light color.

To make it readable, was able to change the CSS at line #1631 in this
file:

/usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css

...to make the notifications background lighter, like so:

[...]

.notification-banner,
.notification-banner:hover,
.notification-banner:focus {
  font-size: 10pt;
  width: 34em;
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 6px 4px;
  color: #D3DAE3;
/*  background-color: #383C4A; */
  background-color: #636883;

...not great but makes it readable at least.
