Public bug reported: Upon upgrade to focal notifications are black text on very dark grey background, rendering them unreadable. I've attached a screenshot of how it looks after the upgrade.
Hovering over the notification in the popup makes the text turn the correct light color. To make it readable, was able to change the CSS at line #1631 in this file: /usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css ...to make the notifications background lighter, like so: [...] .notification-banner, .notification-banner:hover, .notification-banner:focus { font-size: 10pt; width: 34em; margin: 10px; padding: 6px 4px; color: #D3DAE3; /* background-color: #383C4A; */ background-color: #636883; ...not great but makes it readable at least.
