Re: [Ayatana] Regarding Notify-OSD's Position in Karmic Koala

["Scott E. Armitage" <launchpad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It sounds like this is putting the horse before the bit -- there is still a lot of turmoil out there regarding NotifyOSD's positioning. The "Work for Lucid" section should say something more like

" Positioning: Determine the driving requirements for notification bubble positioning and separate them from the 'nice-to-haves'. Perform a trade study comparing all possible solutions against the requirements to identify those that satisfy requirements."

We can keep moving the notifications around every time Ubuntu is released, or we could pin down what we actually need to accomplish in notification positioning and get it done. Right. This time.

Hi ,

Recent update in the Lucid specs:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Work%20for%20Lucid

 " Change in position: The top of any notification bubble should be
positioned near the bottom right corner such that if the bubble grows to
its maximum height, it is snug at the bottom right corner. Confirmation
bubbles should use a slot immediately above that notification bubble
slot."
