Using the devtools, I pulled the image URL, which points here. However, I get a 404 response and this message:
File not found: /v1/AUTH_mw/wikipedia-meta-local-public/a/ab/Medium_close_button.png

Hi @AfroThundr3007730, thanks for taking the time to report this and welcome to Phabricator!

That bar on the left is not displayed by the Notifications extension but by a local custom gadget called "Display a floating alert for new talk page messages". Its code is located at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-topalert.js and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-topalert.css

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notifications/FAQ#What_happened_to_the_orange_bar_for_talk_page_messages_on_Wikipedia? for more information.

Closing this task as invalid as this task is about correcting on-wiki content (which is out of scope in Phabricator). Please refer to the talk page of the gadget.
Thanks!
