Bug Description

NotifyOSD - Change background colour to use the same median colour used in the Oneiric Dash. The blur behind NotifyOSD should also be exactly the same as the blur used for the Dash.

Note that the NotifyOSD and Dash material should be *exactly* the same.

See attached image "NotifyOSD wrong colour.png" to see what is wrong with the current implementation.

I like the black background. It'd be nice to have the option of keeping the black background for NotifyOSD.

This bug was fixed in the package notify-osd - 0.9.33-0ubuntu1

---------------
notify-osd (0.9.33-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - change background colour to use the same median colour used in
      the unity dash (lp: #810325)
    - should migrate the user gconf keys values to gsettings (lp: #827897)
    - accessibility broken due to recent GTK3 changes (lp: #856071)
    - keeps on writing to .cache/notify-osd.log and waking up my drive
      (lp: #904835)
    - wakes up for every key/focus event after showing the first bubble
      (lp: #915389)

i like it.

now the only thing that doesnt match with the rest is the top panel.

Gladly there is now an option for panel opacity auto-toggle for maximized windows.

Re-opening this bug because the tinting is still the wrong colour and the blur is missing, see attached screenshot "NotifyOSD wrong colour.png"

Creating a heuristic that chooses the right color for every wallpaper in the world is terribly difficult, if not impossible. Why not keeping things simple and beautiful, and use just black?
