This is useful if you want, e.g. chat notifications to stay on the screen when you walk away from the computer, but not song played notifications. In general, it seems to me to make the most sense to always have the user's explicit preference for a specific notification take precedence over more general preferences. > And if I *don't* tick the checkbox "Leave notification on screen after >> n seconds of inactivity" does it then go away automatically after n >> seconds of inactivity? > > > Yes.. I don't get how this is unclear. > Unless the sending application makes it sticky? I think part of the confusion is that both Growl and the sending application can cause a notification to be sticky. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
