(Added workaround)

** Description changed:

  Notify-OSD does not pick up the custom background colour value for
  Unity. It uses the average background colour even when the user
  specifies a custom background colour to be used in the Unity plugin
  settings of CCSM.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Open compizconfig-settings-manager and find the "Background Color" option
  2) Choose any color and/or opacity setting
  3) Wait for a notify-osd bubble to appear
  
  What should happen:
  The bubble's color and opacity matches that of the dash and launcher, thus 
providing a consistent look
  
  What happens instead:
  The bubble's color and opacity take on the "chameleon" effect, ignoring the 
user's specified color settings
  
+ Workaround (Requires the use of third-party software):
+ 1) Follow the commands on this page: 
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/patched-notifyosd-with-close-on-click.html
+ 2) Open NotifyOSD Configuration
+ 3) Untick "Use Dash background colour..."
+ 4) Choose your own background color and opacity above and click apply
+ 
  Original description:
  When selecting the color of the dash from compiz-setting-manager, notify osd 
still uses the background color opacity and not the color from the dash in 
unity precise
