Body

I've noticed that on the latest version of GitHub Mobile (Android), the unread notification badge count is rendered in a dark gray that's difficult to distinguish against the dark mode background. This makes it hard to tell at a glance how many unread notifications I have.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable dark mode in system settings
2. Open GitHub Mobile app
3. Navigate to the Notifications tab
4. Observe the badge count color contrast

Device info:

=> App version: 1.263.0
=> Android version: 13 or 14 (One UI 5.1 / 6.x)
=> Device model: Samsung Galaxy S21 FE (SM-G990)

Hi @abdhullaCk,

Thanks for the detailed report.

A few additional details may help the GitHub Mobile team reproduce and investigate the issue:

• Does this happen only with the unread notification badge count, or are other badges/text elements in dark mode affected as well?
• Have you tested whether the issue persists after switching between light mode and dark mode or after restarting the app?
• If possible, could you share a screenshot showing the contrast issue (with any personal information redacted)?
• Does the problem occur with the default Android dark theme only, or are you using any custom themes, color palettes, high-contrast settings, or accessibility options?

Since you have already provided the app version, Android version, and device model, a screenshot and confirmation of the above points would make it easier for others to verify whether this is device-specific or a broader UI regression.

Thanks for reporting it.
