Re: EXTREMELY ugly notifications
I'm also experiencing this problem.
I've also been getting this ugly bastard in the middle of the screen for contrast and volume for almost a year now and it's ******* me off:

10.04 had them working just fine! :P
I use gnome classic 2d no compiz standard etc etc etc whatever. The one where the traditional setup is a bar both at the top and bottom of the screen
Is there any fix known or forthcoming?
edit:
I've managed to make them a bit neater by removing notification-daemon package. This has pushed them all back into the corner where they belong. But they're still ugly buggers. Check this out:

The colour seems to be off and the borders are solid black. very ugly. what I wanted is more like these shots from the notify-osd documentation on the wiki:

edit:
I can get back this behaviour by turning to compiz.
I do not want compiz. I want metacity.
Is there any way to get these working under gnome classic (No 3d effects)?

The transparency between notifications, and the semi-transparency in the notifications themselves, are 3D effects in themselves.
If you turn on compositing in Metacity (it's a gconf key, or a dconf key, from what I remember) you might get the transparency, but then that kinda defeats the "no effects" thing.
Re: EXTREMELY ugly notifications
Thanks for the quick reply!
Yeah, I realised transparency isn't the issue/what I'm looking for. I just want the colours to be correct and the black box to bugger off. I've managed to get an only-just-working solution happening by using some notify-osd configuration system. I just made the inner bubble the same black as the outer box. Still not that pretty, but I can live with it. Only issue now is that the notification bubbles disappear way too fast (a second or less). Again. I can live with that, but it's kind of annoying
