Unread vs read notifications are difficult to distinguish when viewed at an indirect angle on a 13" Macbook Air
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I have a brand new Mac Book Air 13''. I don't know if the screen doesn't have a very wide viewing angle vertically, but if my line of sight is not close to perpendicular to the screen (which happens easily if the laptop is on a table and you're standing), the unread notification rows are barely distinguishable from the read ones.

PS: I don't have any vision problems.

This problem is happening for both the notification popup as well as the dedicated notification page.

We only convey this information through the use of color, which could also cause difficulty for users who do have vision problems.
