How can I change the colour of the text below the title in popup notifications?

I have installed 20.04 (Gnome 3.36.1) with Adapta theme (specifically Adapta-Eta).

As you can see, the text below "Laravel Mix" is barely visible. I have tried to find the CSS selector in /usr/share/themes/Adapta-Eta/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css, but none of the changes I have made have any effect.

popup with dark text

When I hover over the popup notification, the text colour changes to white(ish) legible text.

popup with light

Can someone please tell me which CSS selector corresponds to the text "Build successful"? Also, after making changes do I need reload the session for those changes to be reflected?

Thanks in advance!

Edit:

This issue is not related to Laravel Mix, which simply displays NPM asset build notifications. Using notify-send to generate test notifications results in the same issue.

When I execute notify-send foo bar, "foo" is light, while "bar" is barely visible:

popup foo

  • sudo apt-add-repository ppa:tista/adapta followed by sudo apt-get install adapta-gtk-theme. Then using gnome-tweaks I enabled the theme. – Rob Apr 28 '20 at 09:13
  • It's not Laravel Mix related. Even if I do notify-send foo bar from the CLI, "foo" is light, while "bar" is dark. – Rob Apr 28 '20 at 09:56
  • Thanks for looking into it. – Rob Apr 28 '20 at 10:04

  • I have the same settings in tweaks. Weird. Might try a reinstall. – Rob Apr 28 '20 at 10:33
  • @Rob have you managed to solve this? I'm having the exact same issue right now, quite annoying. The selector is .message-content (at least for Arc theme) but whatever color i set there, it is only shown once I mouseover the notification. Before that it is barely visible. – mj3c Sep 21 '20 at 11:04

    @Zantsu I think it has something to do with the Adapta theme (it's no longer supported). I have changed to Materia https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme and it's working now. – Rob Sep 22 '20 at 01:00
  • @mj3c I'm going through the exactly the same situation as you, could you solve it? – Figaro Nov 19 '20 at 22:08
  • @MartinPrado no, sorry... I am using Light notifications, couldn't bother with it anymore – mj3c Nov 22 '20 at 23:02
  • @MartinPrado sorry no I gave up and switched to Materia theme instead. Have you tried modifying the CSS selectors as per Redman's answer below? – Rob Nov 26 '20 at 00:07
  • I already tried modifying all the attributes in the CSS file, it's a bug that transcends the theme – Figaro Nov 30 '20 at 15:33

You need to change or in my case add the following selectors:

.notification-banner .message-title, .notification-banner:focus .message-title, .notification-banner:active .message-title { color: #eeeeec; } .notification-banner .message-content, .notification-banner:focus .message-content, .notification-banner:active .message-content { color: #eeeeec; }
