Re: unity and notifications

 

I think everyone is going to have a personally preferred position, but
maintaining a default association with the 'me menu' is probably a good
thing. However, as Dani notes, this can get in the way - especially
considering that many apps, especially on the graphics sides of things,
have their toolbar in that location. I have been caught a few times
where I have had to wait for the notification to fade out before I could
continue working.

What I would like to see is:
1: the notification is interactive - ie. clicking on it brings up the
app which is sending the notification and at the correct 'page' or
message, etc.
2: having a 'dismiss' button on the notification which gets it out of
the way quickly
3: let me drag it to my preferred location (like a widget) and let the
system remember where I want it.
