Yaru: Yaru-dark notification color problem

[morristai]

First, thanks for making such a great theme.
Yaru-dark works fine except for notifications popup.

I checked /usr/share/themes/Yaru-dark/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, the code seems fine with dark-background.

But somehow it's not working properly, can someone help?

Hi there thanks for the nice words :)

The shell theme is sadly not connected to the gtk theme!
So there is no way currently to change the shell theme when the gtk theme changes to dark :)

Apart from the light/drk gtk themes we ended with a mixed theme for the shell.
I personally feel comfortable with the mixed theme. The reason for light notifications and dialogues is to give people a chance to notice the notifications and having a friendly color for dialogues.

How do you currently feel about this @clobrano @madsrh ?

If I may, I'd say I feel comfortable with it and to you @diaper151 - It's not a bug, it is intentional .

[Feichtmeier]

Yeah that mixed style was a hot topic back then and there still pops up issues here and there. :man_shrugging:
I think they look great and give the best usability, but I can understand that 1) some people might prefer them to look like our shell popups and 2) some people might be iritated

I appreciate your replies. Seem that I have to adapt it : )

Closing after taking to Carlo

I want a dark notification. How to get it?

[Feichtmeier]

We would need to separate the dark shell version from the light shell version.
I thought I'd working on this soon but no promises.
The other story is how to activate it... No idea really. Once the variant is set I see no way to change it. I'm going to ask
@madsrh @clobrano @ubuntujaggers do you want the shell to be dark? There is a variable in the shell theme code much like in the gtk theme code. So we could theme two version, light and dark

[anonsachin]

can someone tell me what are the css selectors are for the notification and other popups so, I can change them my self in the gtk.css

[clobrano]

As said, this is not the gtk part, so you cannot change it modifying gtk.css
