Re: Notifications and Fremantle: How should they be done?

Hi,

right now the described notification is not meant to be used by 3rd 
party developers. Please try to follow the instructions of the HIG [1] 
on how to display information to the user. I don't know what you want to 
achieve, but I guess a banner could be the right way to do it.

 Hi,

 In Diablo, getting a notification to popup in the bottom-left corner
 (e.g. Modest's new mail notifcations) could be simply done using the
 libnotify API as-is. However, in Fremantle, this does not appear to be
 the case any more (from what I can tell, anyway) and I was wondering
 if anyone had any hints on how to show notifications like the one seen
 at 1:15 on the video found on http://maemo.nokia.com/ (New SMS
 message received).
 I've also tried using libhildonnotification, too, but as it is (in
 essence) a wrapper for libnotify, it doesn't help me much and yields
 the same result as me using libnotify directly.

Hi,

Ah, OK. Using a HildonBanner is fine with me; I just assumed that we
would be able to use libnotify in the same way. Thanks! :)
