Re: [Ayatana] Things I have noticed



Hi!

Wouldn't it be much smarter for the system to detect when you do something in fullscreen (like watching a movie) and queue the notifications somehow? It could present them later in some kind of advance dialog or something when the user is finished with whatever he/she was doing.

Cheers,
Fab

So something of an "offline mode," similar to that of mobile phones? 

I really like this idea, and agree that as I'm also mostly a user interested in usability, the issue of notifications popping up while watching a movie in full screen would be annoying with others, not so annoying by myself.

I also like the concept of an "offline," icon involved in there.  Far too often, I forget that I actually made a setting change, and never went back to return it to the default.
     The iPhone uses the airplane icon, no...
     My Nokia phones simply give me an "X" and the text "Offline"...
    
     Perhaps something like a comic strip text bubble's silhouette with a red "X"; Some visual reference that reminds the user, "notifications are offline until you change that"...
