Notification popup styling

Should not have to explain this, but... I can't read black text on a dark gray background.  If we're going to get notification popups, they should at least be readable.  /rant

I also don’t like black on dark gray, but I don’t recall seeing any.  Where are you seeing them or perhaps under what circumstances do you receive these notifications?  What operating system or platform?

change your setting in your browser setting.   Dark to Light  or Same as Windows

That’s why I was wondering about what platform he was on.  Windows, and I presume Linux, Mac, etc, has a lot of display settings that can be customized to ensure that low contrast between the background and the text isn’t an issue.  I doubt that @rdunajewski specifically set notifications to black on gray.

Re: above replies, the fact y'all don't understand doesn't mean it ain't happening.   This topic is intended for the man in charge, and he should know.  It would be hard to capture a screenshot because I never know when one will appear and they clear after a few seconds.

Nobody said it wasn’t happening and unless you report something I’m not sure Rich is seeing this, but whether you believe it or not we are trying to help solve your issue.  So which notifications are you seeing that are black on dark gray.  If you really don’t want anyone else to comment you should pm Rich.

The problem I see with that line of thought is this is the forum section for his site therefore he should monitor it.

Maybe he has notifications for it and can’t read them because they’re black on dark gray…

OK, I caught one example.  Sometimes there are longer ones, I think those are for reactions or similar things.

Yeah, definitely nearly impossible to see. My notifications don’t look like that at all. I’ll try to catch one.

Here’s what the pop-ups look like on my iPhone:
