This happens when a compositing window-manager is available/running when notify-osd is started... and later during the session is replaced with something that's no longer compositing windows. Because notify-osd still thinks it's running in a composited environment. Killing and restarting notify-osd, when the switch from a compositing to a non-compositing window-manager happens fixes this issue.
notify-osd used to much more dynamic in its rendering behaviour in the past, but I had to remove some of that for reasons I currently can't remember anymore. As for the blue color... this seems to be from running notify-osd < 0.9.34. With the latest (0.9.34) release, the background tint is always correct. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/942572 Title: Notify OSD panel is opaque when shown in the installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/942572/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
