Just updated to 45.0. When I get a new email the notification in the upper-right corner of my screen is now huge and gray. It used to be smaller and transparent. This new look is terrible (see attached screenshot). I know I can turn off notifications in the Preferences but this is a work email & I'd prefer to use the on-screen notification, just not it be so ugly and poorly formatted. Any way to go back to the old way?

I'm on OSX 10.7.5 so there is no notification center like newer Mac OS's have.

A check with a developer. He wrote "this is a old OS X version. On newer OS X versions it works correctly. In core (eg Firefox) there there some changes for the notifications between 38 and 45 and I don't know if they checked them under such old versions."

Shorter version, unlikely this will be improved for old versions of OS X
