Re: [Ayatana] GSoC '10 Idea : NotifyOSD improvements

[Jeremy Nickurak <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've been pushing this 'ethereal notification' idea for a long time. Has anybody outside Ubuntu picked up on it? Why or why not? Is it a direction that should be continued on, or is a course-change required?

2.) A close button on the corner of the bubble as soon as a mouseover occurs (like Growl, instead of disappearing away)

This interferes with the idea of notifications being ethereal -- as it stands, if I want to close an app whose close box is hidden by a notification, it doesn't change my work flow, I simply click /through/ the notification.

The addition of a close button on the corner of the notification would block this action under certain circumstances, and could also lead to dismissing a notification that I didn't intend to dismiss.
