When I run mate-notification-properties, I have two drop down list to select a theme (choices: Coco, Nodoka, Cursor, Standard theme) and position (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).
No matter what I select, the notifications look the same and appear in top right.
They are very dark on my dark background, so hardly readable, and the font is painfully small.
Before I reinstalled, I had notifications with a much larger font and written in black on yellow, which was nicely visible.
I cannot reproduce this on an up-to-date Trisquel 11 system: changes to notification theme and position are correctly applied.
There used to be a bug in Trisquel 9, and possibly Trisquel 10.
> written in black on yellow
This description matches the Nodoka theme.

Thanks for checking. My problem is on a fresh install of Trisquel 11 made yesterday from the latest iso. On older installations it works fine.
EDIT: After doing the installation, I reinstalled the whole list of packages that were installed on my desktop, which is about 860 more packages. I am suspecting that one of them might be interfering with mate.
The notify-osd package has been known to interfere with mate-notification-daemon, and had to be uninstalled. You may want to check whether you re-installed it.

Depending on the date, if you backed your files while the packages was still part of the meta package it may have returned, after this change it was no longer part of the default installation.
Maybe from the backup date it still contain it?

Thanks for the reminder, indeed it was installed, after uninstalling, logging out and in again, the problem does not occur anymore.
I looked at the list of installed packages that I generated with Synaptic before resinstalling, as suggested in https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/cloning-system-or-how-make-copy-installed-packages-one-computer-another and notify-osd was in there.
However, before reinstalling the system, I could change the notification settings without any problem. So it seems that notify-osd sometimes does not create problems. I just checked that synaptic now generates a list without notify-osd, so I assume this was not synaptic including a non-installed package in the list.
An installed package may behave differently depending on how it is configured, and on how dependent packages are configured.
