Hey, all.
I posted a GSoC project Idea on the ubuntu-soc list yesterday and I thought it'd be more appropriate if I run it down by developers in the Ayatana list.
Some of the things that this project could help solve :
1.) Make the OSD customizable
* setting up persistence time
* UI modifications over a basic structure
* Font size/style
...other similar stuff we can decide upon.
2.) Most of the above things would be customized by an OSD Manager that could handle all those by a native GTK+ application.
3.) Implementing unresolved work in the Design Specs.
A few design features that I have in mind (possibly conflicting from the specs in the wiki) :
1.) Stacking, that'd make the bubbles dock downwards as they are initiated and start to stack up as the bubble times finish away.
2.) A close button on the corner of the bubble as soon as a mouseover occurs (like Growl, instead of disappearing away)
3.) Some other ideas?
It could either be a combination of new features and the proposed customizability improvements or just the latter. How feasible do you think it is? (possible additions/subtractions?)
