Whenever I get a note that a thread I’m in has had a new posted-whether it’s in reply to me or not-it’s always highlighted in white with gold print and is hard to read, as opposed to the black with blue type of a message I’ve checked. Is there a setting that explains this? I may not be describing it accurately. ---

I’m moving this from ATMB to [Site Feedback](https://boards.straightdope.com/c/site-feedback/2) as it is a Discourse question and not an ATMB question.

Theme is Vincent. I’m using Firefox. So far I’ve only noticed it on my work desktop. ---

I’ll try and do a little testing using Vincent on a PC at least. But someone from Discourse will probably need to check this. ---

The Vincent theme always seems to have issues. A recent update made it worse. See this thread: > [@Vincent Theme not working again?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vincent-theme-not-working-again/980298): > > This started for me yesterday afternoon I believe. I’ve only checked it on my computer, but with both Firefox and Chrome with the same results. So that should rule out fa browser issue. My issue is that in the notification box, threads I haven’t clicked on normally have a blue background to stand out against everything else, which has a black background. It should look something like this (this isn’t the area I’m currently having an issue with, it’s just an example of another ‘drop down’ type … ---

Just noticed it also happens on my phone. It’s not a big issue, just an annoyance and a mystery. It does seem that I’m having the same issue as those other people.
