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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1378618 Title: volume notification looks bad when an indicator is open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1378618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
