Instead of polling all the time, wouldn't it be much more efficient to have something like this?
- embed the notification bubble window in a larger transparent XWindow which provides an invisible frame in which the fading happens - subscribe to focus in/out events (GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY) in both windows, and to GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY in the frame Then nothing at all would happen if the mouse pointer is outside the frame; while it's inside, you can do the dynamic fading according to the mouse pointer positions, and if the pointer is inside the bubble window you just fade it out all the way. None of this requires any polling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645130 Title: notify-osd busy polling consumes CPU and drains battery To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/notify-osd/+bug/645130/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
