Dear Friends, notification-daemon has a new upstream release (0.3.2). It moves away from the current bubble comic look [1] of the notifications to the old look that was used in breezy (because apparently a lot of people hate the new look).
Now, the dapper desktop plan spec states: * The notifier popup will just have an [x] to close it, to click on. * Clicking anywhere in the notifier popup will actually close it. [with some discussion at the end whether not that that should be done] Here are the options we have: 1. keep the current bubble look (needs some upstream work, as the bubbles are broken right now in upstream svn) 2. use the new look unchanged (same as in breezy): http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/notification-daemon/notify_unchanged_small.png 3. add a close button, here are mockups of various places where we can put the button: http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/notification-daemon/notify_above_small.png http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/notification-daemon/notify_below_small.png http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/notification-daemon/notify_right_bottom_small.png http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/notification-daemon/notify_right_top_small.png 4. come up with something totally new *cough* and hope we find someone to implement it :) Comments/Suggestions welcome!
