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

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

I couldn't agree more; the notification system introduced with NotifyOSD is, on the whole, awesome, and I couldn't imagine going back to stupid little balloon tips tat pop up with a distracting noise and demand to be shooed away.

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?

I think it's awesome, and the small number of complaints compared to the millions of Ubuntu users seems to agree. I can't stand systems that use notifications that pop-up and get in the way of my workflow. I admit to having thought the idea of removing actions was bad, but after using it for a bit I can't imagine going back.
