This happens when a compositing window-manager is available/running when notify-osd is started... and later during the session is replaced with something that's no longer compositing windows. Because notify-osd still thinks it's running in a composited environment. Killing and restarting notify-osd, when the switch from a compositing to a non-compositing window-manager happens fixes this issue.

notify-osd used to much more dynamic in its rendering behaviour in the past, but I had to remove some of that for reasons I currently can't remember anymore.

As for the blue color... this seems to be from running notify-osd < 0.9.34. With the latest (0.9.34) release, the background tint is always correct.
