I don't understand this code really:
indicator-applet-developers/notify-osd/trunk/src/defaults.c
gint
defaults_get_on_screen_timeout (Defaults* self)
{
gint on_screen_timeout;
if (!self || !IS_DEFAULTS (self))
return 0;
g_object_get (self, "on-screen-timeout", &on_screen_timeout, NULL);
return on_screen_timeout;
}
x time for n characters?

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...
