This has the potential to be a flame war so please don't take this the wrong way. I am not sure why the huge pop ups are a good thing. To me they are similar to Clippy always in the way. Which from what I understand is why they had to move the buttons anyway. The notifications have weird behaviours too like disappearing and reappearing when I move my cursor close to the upper right but not on it. Please understand that this is just my two cents but this decision seems like a band aid fix for poor choices in layout. I understand that you want people to know that there are updates available but a notification that sticks around saying I am connected wirelessly when I just told it to connect seems a bit overkill and is in the way. I understand that all this stuff can be changed but I just feel a default setting should be what people would commonly want

I think he would have gotten less resistance to the move if the window indicators came in at the same time. I especially like per application volume settings in the taskbar. -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.
