Difficult to read Notifications.

Hello, my question is that on my Wiki, I have issues reading the notifications. When the flyout menu is selected after multiple messages, the boxes highlight completely white, save for black text. This causes the White, unclicked message header links to be unreadable. I was wondering if this was simply an issue with my skin or some other issue I have not yet thought of. Thank you for your time.

@IronClark, hello!

Which skin do you use? Which browser to you use? Do you also use personal scripts or certain gadgets? Do you have that problem on all wikis?

Thanks!

Hello! We have a custom skin, at the https://wiki.urealms.com/wiki/Main_Page URealms Wiki. I use Googe Chrome, and no I do not have this across all wikis. As far as personal scripts or gadgets, I am not certain. I sort of inherited the wiki.

I think just adding .mw-echo-title { color: white !important; } in the skin CSS (where you also have rules like .oo-ui-popupWidget-head { color: white !important; }) should change the poorly-readable gray-on-black text to white-on-black. Apart from that though, I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about exactly. Could you upload a screenshot of the problem somewhere?

I see! It looks like this only happens the first time you view a new message. The best way I can think of to work around this is to add .mw-echo-ui-notificationOptionWidget-initiallyUnseen.mw-echo-ui-notificationOptionWidget-unread { -webkit-animation-name: none !important; animation-name: none !important; } to your skin CSS.
