I like the idea. Adds some nice professionalism / integration.
I tried it with 10.04 simulator with Touchy.
It didn't look as nice as your pic.
It popped up a dialog box with cancel / ok buttons in the middle
of the screen. Having two buttons was a bit confusing.
They didn't steal focus.
It work inconsistently. It didn't always catch the errors.
With AXIS it seemed to work more consistently but I tested neither
very much.
Is it supposed to pop up in the upper right like other notifications
do ? Is it supposed to stay till cleared or remain till a time limit passes?
Now that I had a different theme for touchy it doesn't match :)
Wouldn't this be integrated with the GUI rather then a separate
program?
