Yeah, but the main point of this mod is that people who leave their browsers open (say, for instance chatting in the Shoutbox) would see the notifications pop up in (almost) real-time in the bottom of the screen

Not working for me. 4.2.2 :erm:

Define not working, that is a very general phrase.

When the notifications show up the background is missing. Or its transparent.. maybe I missed something, I'll try again.

Test a new modification on the default vBulletin style. It is unfair to say that a 'mod' does not work when there is just a inconsistency with your selected style.

All you need is a simple CSS color alteration. If you post a link with an active notification, we should be able to assist you.

I uploaded a screenshot. If you look closely you can see white text in the notification box. I'm using the default theme too.

Without a page url (with a notification active), I will not be able to determine the CSS via my browser. I would either have to load the "mod" or spend my time reading through the code. It is why we ask for a link.

This feature is also part of the PRO version according the the documentation.

You can edit the dbtech_notifications.css template, by adding the part in red, and change black to what ever you wish.

.notification_box {
    position: fixed;
    top: 85%;
    left: 1%;
    display: none;
    padding: 5px;
    height: auto;
    width: 20%;
    color: white;
    background: black;
    border-radius: 5px;
    -moz-box-shadow: 2px 2px 1px #000000;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 1px #000000;
    box-shadow: 2px 2px 1px #000000;
