Chromium Web Store extension icon notification counter number is not visible properly

[guest999v22]

This is what the counter looked like before chrome v102 update:

This is what the counter looks like in later chrome versions:

I have tried enabling disabling "Pervasive system accent color" chrome flag along with win 10 accent colour setting with no success. As it can be seen in the last pic, other extensions are managing it properly so it should be doable for this extension too & hopefully nothing complicated to implement.

Are you using version 1.5+? If so, this is caused by a bug(?) in Manifest V3, see: https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/164964343/chrome-extensions-have-black-dark-box-and-text-for-notifications
If other extensions have white text, they are using Manifest V2.

Edit: I'm not sure if the blame lies on Manifest v3 as some extensions shown in that thread are still using Manifest v2. I can't say what is causing this bug, but the API provides no method to change the badge text color; I'll look into it more later when I have the time.

After a quick read through https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1321962&q=badge&can=2 I believe this might be an intentional and permanent change. I think the only fix may be to change the badge background color to a color where white is more contrasting than black.

I am using v1.4.4.2. I have seen this similar issue in another extension where the developer fixed it in later version likely by doing the same thing you mentioned.

Yep, just had to change the red from #FF0000 to #FE0000.
