NotifyBackground not respecting highlight group set by theme on startup but does after

[jacobrreed]

So I am writing a custom theme and have NotifyBackground = {fg=x, bg=x} and when I first load my config i get the typical Notify message about a background_colour and NotifyBackground not being set on startup, the message that comes up and any subsequent message are respecting my highlight group.

Any reason why? My color scheme is loaded with priority=1000

Plugin first load call:

Calling notify after the error:

My theme highlight set:
(transparent_bg_float just sets a regular color if transparent plugin option is false and "none" otherwise)
Worth noting that this color wont matter, no matter what I set here it will work, but notify will still warn about no bg color set

Another note, I can set the background_colour to white, and if i call notify, i can briefly (for like 1ms) see white as the background before my highlighting takes over
