When I run mate-notification-properties, I have two drop down list to select a theme (choices: Coco, Nodoka, Cursor, Standard theme) and position (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).

No matter what I select, the notifications look the same and appear in top right.

They are very dark on my dark background, so hardly readable, and the font is painfully small.

Before I reinstalled, I had notifications with a much larger font and written in black on yellow, which was nicely visible.

The notify-osd package has been known to interfere with mate-notification-daemon, and had to be uninstalled

Thanks for the reminder, indeed it was installed, after uninstalling, logging out and in again, the problem does not occur anymore.

I looked at the list of installed packages that I generated with Synaptic before resinstalling, as suggested in https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/cloning-system-or-how-make-copy-installed-packages-one-computer-another and notify-osd was in there.

However, before reinstalling the system, I could change the notification settings without any problem. So it seems that notify-osd sometimes does not create problems. I just checked that synaptic now generates a list without notify-osd, so I assume this was not synaptic including a non-installed package in the list.
