Couldn’t find an appropriate answer to my problem but ever since the last update the notification messages (popups) have gotten very ugly. As you can see from the picture (can’t seem to upload images), the background color and even the font looks ugly. Wonder if some settings were overwritten or i…

What notifications? From your browser? From your DE? What DE? Are you fully up to date? Or did you do a partial? Are you using a theme? Which one? Does the problem affect other themes? [image] [HowTo] Provide System Information Tutorials information_source This tutoria…

Yes, from my DE. Use XFCE as my default Desktop Environment. Not using any themes other than the default one, and yes, fully up-to-date. Why am I not able to upload an image? (neither share an imgur link it seems)

Media and links are disabled for new users to cut down on spam and server load. (it would be nice for it to be tweaked for certain allowances … but this is how it is now) So by xfce, default … do you mean generic adwaita? or manjaro default ?

Manjaro default. When you go to the xfce4-settings-manager, you get the “Notifications” option. From there you can tweak how the popups will look, how long they’ll last and so on. So far it’s the same blue ugly box no matter what theme I choose.

Let’s see if I can upload a pic this time. Here is the paste.pic ID a49f572eb50d9f4bf080548b5f4d2e66 Another example: Here is the paste.pic ID dd3400f0594b3b776e216ea54a155f57 @bill_t I do have dunst installed.

[image] XuLin: I do have dunst installed Judging from the pictures you pointed to, it’s definetely dunst that is being used for the notifications. The question is, why did you install it in the first place? Xfce has already a notification service, called xfce4-notifyd. https://docs.xfce.or…

SOLVED: Couldn’t uninstall Dunst as it broke the i3 WM by being a dependency, so just masked the service to not run at start up. xfce4-notifyd is now running well :slight_smile:

You can mark his post as solved. :thinking: :nauseated_face:
