Just wanted wanted to chime in on a couple of the reasons for the OSD
position decision noted in # 34...
* sliding things around when something else grows is really bad, it is
unpredictable and frustrating for a user trying to look at the thing that
suddenly moves, so:
- synchronous should not be below async (so that it does not have to slide
down)
- the bottom right corner doesn't work (because then async has to grow
"upwards")
> I think the "badness" of this from the user perspective is being
exaggerated here; it's not hard to read at all - wasn't before when it
worked "right". The movement is very fluid and slow and the
circumstances where you 'd have more than one notification popping up at
once is on the rare side. I think it's *much* worse having an
inconsistency of the positioning of the notifications on the screen...
* the top right corner has a lot of stuff there - window decorations, tabs,
tab controls (new tab, close tab etc) and in many apps, a search
input. So even though the look-through and click-through is *cool*, it's still
better not to put async right into the top right corner
> This reason smacks more of a rationalization of the OSD position
decision...
Also just wanted to addthat it would be nice to add some simple config
options (as I know other's have mentioned) - Perhaps an extra tab under
"Appearance"?... Background/text color and position on screen
(top/bottom left/right)... Of course the sliding direction of the OSD
and other positioning thing would have to be tweaked slightly...
