I think someone had come up with an idea where a newly installed application would have its icon as black&white and then turn color after you click on it for the first time. I'm not sure how you would implement a scheme like that. ** > *As I type this email, the chat notification pops up and it is pretty > impressive since I can type my reply directly into it, though there are > still rooms for improvement in the design.* > > I'm not big on the notifications. I miss most of them because I'm not used to having them at the bottom. I like the mac method better. I think it is because I never look at the bottom edge of my screen anymore. Maybe the animation is not as eye catching.. I don't know. But it doesn't matter to me, I'm sure there will be other ways to alert me of something, if not shell then perhaps docky would have something. sri
