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. ** Branch linked: lp:~macslow/unity8/synchronous-notification -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1378618 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. phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ apt-cache policy indicator-sound indicator-sound: Instalados: 12.10.2+14.10.20141007-0ubuntu1 Candidato: 12.10.2+14.10.20141007-0ubuntu1 Tabla de versión: *** 12.10.2+14.10.20141007-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ci-train-ppa-service/landing-011/ubuntu-rtm/ 14.09/main armhf Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1378618/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
