If you are pointing out the ticker at the bottom of the screen .. yes
it can be 'tamed' but it is still in my screen space.
As I write code with multiple screens open (yada yada) things flashing
or sounds burping/farting/ticking etc (though some of those noises are
more the fault of my comrades) tend to interrupt my concentration
(though music of Bartok to ZZTop doesn't .. odd).
So I have my StartBar in 'hide' mode and every once in a while run the
cursor down to see what's shaking with the bat. If flapping i have to
check it. IF just the really REALLY important folders were tagged to
flap then I wouldn't have to get out of the stream other than
important messages.
Sort of like the old Rocky and Bullwinkle thing ...
Bullwinkle "Rocky .. watch me pull a rabbit from my hat"
Rocky "Oh that trick never works"
Bullwinkile "Nothing up my sleve"
Rocky "Is it important?"
Bullwinkile "This is what I really call a message"
flap
flap
flap
As for your picture .. since you probably have a filter which
transfers all messages from me into the really important folder which
the tickler is part of .. yeow .. I am honored :-)
