Hi! Thanks for the quick response! I know the preferences and that I can set a certain app to stay on screen for indefinitive time. But that's not what I am looking for.
I'll give you a real-world-example to explain what I mean: I am using a whole lot of Applications that constantly send notifications via Growl. When I log out of my computer and log back into it after several hours and start up Growl it checks for example online applications (Google Reader, Facebook,...) for status updates. Because in 8 to 10 hours (the time I am not on the computer) theres a lot of things happening in the world I get a lot (I mean: a lot) of notifications. Especially with Google Reader Growl plasters my monitor for 3 minutes with notifications rendering the computer unusable for several minutes (thats why I got rid of the Google Reader notifications btw... maybe someone could do something like an abridged notification-function in case you get some hundreds?). Even without the Google Reader I get something like 20 notifications from several applications that check stati (statuses) online as soon as I log in. Thats totally fine for me, I like to know whats going on, I want to read that stuff, but there s no way I could read them all in 5 seconds! But I dont want to stay them on the screen generally, while I am working. When I am working 5 seconds is totally fine, more sustain would be annoying. I just think it would be a good idea to make a function to make notifications stick to the screen as soon as one does a certain action. For example: move mouse on ONE notification will make ALL notifications stay on screen until one moves the mouse away again. That gives me time to read all that. Even 3 notifications can be difficult to read if you are concentrating on a Skype-call, you know. Maybe another solution could be a history-function, so that one could read the last 20 notifications in a pop-up-menu or something. Would be great if I could have made myself understood better this time. I think it might be a good extension of this nifty app! Thanks a lot, best regards, Se On Feb 28, 7:24 am, Peter Hosey <[email protected]> wrote: > On Feb 27, 2010, at 11:37:52, Sebastian wrote: > > > when I log out of my computer and I come back and start it up again > > there's tons of news-updates from the interwebs that are getting > > notified by Growl.
