Although I have some usability concerns about making *all* messages automatically disappear, I do like the overall effect!! it just seems to 'feel right'... though there are a few minor points of feedback for you to consider: 1) Try to eliminate the dependency on WikifiedMessagesPlugin, either by combining code from both tiddlers into a single plugin, or at least make it optional; i.e., check to see if config.extensions.WikifiedMessages is defined and, if not, fallback to the current TW core method that just renders a line of text with a possible link to an external URL. 2) Instead of drawing each message within it's own *visible* container (i.e, an element with borders/background colour), I'd like to preserve the current appearance of the message box area as much as possible. In particular, there is only one visible container surrounding all messages, even if several messages are displayed in rapid succession. I still want the powerful new fade and wikify handling, but applied to individual message DIVs with no border/background that are created *within* that one container, rather than each message being rendered into a separate visible container. 3) I'd like a simple checkbox option to disable/enable the fading timer, as well as a text option input field to enter a the desired display time before fading the messages. your thoughts? -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
