That seems a good idea. However, there are a couple use cases where it would be wrong to have it on top but the user would not seem to be working. Watching a full screen video, for example. Perhaps "If screen is locked, stay on top until screen is unlocked", then apply default behaviour, "stay on top for time T". This is a cleaner use case, I think, fewer what-ifs and exceptions to manage. > but i think this would probably not be possible at present, right? > probably Karmic? Not even, then, I would think, unless and until those doing the design and coding come to believe that another approach is required. > also whats up with no actions in the notify-osd, rather than using the > fall back alerts, why not use a good looking notify-osd with actions , > when required! My apologies, I don't follow. Do you mean have a button on the semi-transparent notify widget "Do Action A"? If so, yes, I agree. There should likely be three: "Do Action A", "Dismiss" (notification never returns), "Snooze" (notification returns sometime later; a default time could be displayed). -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
