>Timeout settings: the time notifications stay should also be configurable: some people read faster than others, so the very-sensible default (of x time per n characters) can be good, but some people maybe like y time per n characters.
That would be wonderful. Implement that; put a high priority on it.

Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420583 Title: Notify-osd looks are not customizable Status in notify-osd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: notify-osd At the moment the notify-osd looks are not configurable (not with a GUI, and as far as I can see not with gconf and/or a configuration file). THis should be possible to do: in the first place with gconf (or configuration file) and in the longer term a GUI (maybe not all aspects, but at least some of them). Rationale: Color settings: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/334310?comments=all (Mirco has confirmed the problem and seems to work on a solution) Presentation settings: If notifications should be visible in fullscreen or not (and what priority should be shown) (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/402962) Font settings: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/335383 (is already being worked on...) Also things like blur and fade out settings should be configurable Timeout settings: the time notifications stay should also be configurable: some people read faster than others, so the very- sensible default (of x time per n characters) can be good, but some people maybe like y time per n characters. Placement settings (which is the real cause of the bug report: center-right is in my option very bad UI design (maybe it is just an experiment): Probably it is more noticeable than top-right but it is also more probable that it is in your way: While reading (a big text) the part I'm reading is often more or less in the center, so I can do 2 things when such a notification happens: Scroll down so I can read the text again, or move my mouse so it appears above the notification so I can read the text under it... It thought notify-osd was about "passive" notifications that didn't take your attention so you were not obliged to do anything, with the new (non-)sensible non-configurable default setting I have to react (sometimes) to a notification...
