Elementary OS newbie here. I'm loving it so far! I've messed with the themes some what and I now have my notification background black and the text black. Makes it hard to see :(. I'm searching for the settings file to alter either the background color or the textColor.
Any insights? I've tried altering /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/apps.css but not having any luck there. It may just be my lack of css knowledge.
This is how I fixed it:
In Terminal, run
sudo nano /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/apps.css
This brings up an editor. Under the Gala section, add:
.gala-notification GtkLabel {
color: #fff;
}
Save, log out and back in.
More info in Switchboard Desktop Plug bug #1459530.
Instead of trying to figure out, which CSS value is messed up, you could easily reinstall the elementary theme:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall elementary-theme
Don't forget to restart/relogin afterwards.
