You are all not fully correct.

Current notifications in unity8 trunk have snap-decisions using "dark on
bright". All other notification-types use "bright on dark". These color-
schemes are static currently.

The unity8 branch (lp:~macslow/unity8/synchronous-notification) up for
review  - introducing the synchronous notification type - also
introduces dynamically adapting color-schemes for all non-snap-decision
notification types. Thus ephemeral, interactive and synchronous
notification-types are able to dynamically switch from "bright on dark"
(default) to "dark on bright" based on two cases...

1.) They show up if one or more snap-decision notification is currently
shown

2.) They show up if an indicator is visible.

Please also see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwEYLXNaL0Q (esp. at
0:23).

It is true that the notification-system can't monitor the average
background color of what is behind it. Gaining that capability is very
unlikely - now and in the future - but this new branch is trying to
solve conceptual UX-flaws for RTM as much as possible. This is certainly
better than what we have currently in unity8 trunk. It will avoid
getting several user-complains of "dark on dark" situations. So this bug
is implicitly fixed in lp:~macslow/unity8/synchronous-notification
already.

Title:
  volume notification looks bad when an indicator is open

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I found this while testing silo 11 with krilling #88.

  Steps to reproduce:
  Open an indicator.
  Press a volume button.

  (see the attached screenshot)

  You will see that the notification appears, but it's the same color as
  the header. It has no borders, so you can't tell it's a popup. It
  looks like the header changed to something that's no properly aligned.
