I will post this to one of the suggested Kodi forums, but want to clarify one more thing first.

I found this info online:

<color name="Background">ff000000</color>
<color name="FanartFade">8Fffffff</color>
<color name="FloorFade">D9000000</color>

Where exactly these parameters are set? Perhaps changing one ore more of them will solve my low contrast issue? Perhaps making FanartFade fully transparent (like this: 00ffffff?) will do the trick?

They are typically in a skin's color themes (folder "colors"), either in "defaults.xml" or in a specific color theme xml file which then is exposed as a UI setting.  I don't think addons can override this in xml windows/dialogs (though AS doesn't use xml coding).  But once defined the skin then uses the color by name rather than the ARGB in any control that can use a color/textcolor/diffusecolor etc.

----------------

beta 13 has restored the notification function I had used (personally) in v 2.  Thanks for that.
