HI Matthias Sorry for my late answer, I had tough days at work this week. First of all, I'm happy that one is interested by working on Nebula, so thank you ! As the original author of Notifier, I also appreciate that you ask me my opinion. Currently Notifier is quite stable and was not designed

The cursor location thing is not needed for the notifier dialog IMO. I think the actions that you have for your own notifier (stacked messages, etc..) would suit the dialog better. Converting to CSS is a good addition. On Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 11:09 AM Matthias Paul Scholz <

As a matter of fact, some time ago we have implemented a similar sort of Notifier in our company that has some useful features like configurable up time, optional acknowledgeability, sounds and stacking of notifications. Maybe that would be a good opportunity to enhance the Nebula Notifier with

Hi Wim, Tried it. Pretty nice. :) Yet, just out of curiosity: is there a particular reason why you didn't use a custom org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog internally which takes care of all the rendering already? That would make the framework taking care of stuff like positioning, themabilty and

Hi Wim and Laurent, Are there any urgent Nebula bugs that needs particular attention? I'd like to give back something to the project and maybe you could point me to something that has high priority here. How about https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=572568, for instance? Best, MP
