The unread count label is black, which makes it barely visible on a dark background. Make it set the colour depending on background, like the clock applet does.
Most strange, it is supposed to do this, and actually does this for me (I use a dark theme as well). What linux distro and GNOME (or other desktop environment) version are you using?

I'm on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. I'm using a ClearGlow theme which isn't an all-dark theme, but has dark panels and menu bars. If I switch to DarkRoom theme shipped with ibex, label is displayed properly (see the attached screenshot). I don't know where from grnotify gets the colour, but as you can see it's not always looking good.

I'm guessing pygtk gets the colour from the gtk settings of the theme, which renders me kind of unable to fix this, since it seems to be an error in your theme itself.

You are right, but it gets the wrong colour (in my opinion). It uses the "fg_color" from gtkrc (Window text colour from gnome-appearance-properties), which is ok if the panel text uses the same colour, but in the theme I use the text colour is set to white with dark background... I'm attaching another ss to illustrate what I mean. I think you can fix this by making pygtk get the 'fg[NORMAL]' from 'style "panel"' in gtkrc.
