Text color in badge hard to read

[Nova38]

A while back the badge in the toolbars text color change to be a redish white color instead of a pure white on red background (on at least the edge and chrome version) . These colors combination are hard to read as they don't have a good contrast between each other.

Here is the new icon: .

Hi Thomas. Happy to see you're still using the extension. I think you were here when it had less than 100 users.

As for the issue. It seems to be a Chromium bug. There is actually no way for Chromium extensions to change the badge text color. The only methods available are setBadgeText and setBadgeBackgroundColor. Only Firefox has setBadgeTextColor. The extension also hasn't been updated for half a year (waiting for Manifest V3 to stabilize), so one of the newer Chromium updates seems to be the culprit.

It looks like only some users are affected. I tested on Chrome 100.0.4896 and Edge 100.0.1185 and I couldn't replicate it.

A few questions.

1. Are you on the latest Chrome (or Edge)? If not, does updating fix the issue?
2. Does restarting your computer fix the issue?

Another user also had the same issue recently (#194). Looking at his image again, I just noticed he also has Tampermonkey installed. Tampermonkey is supposed to show a red badge with the amount of scripts running on the page as the badge text. It's hard to tell, but if you zoom in on his image, you can see a "2". It looks like all extensions are affected by this bug.
