Hi Aaron, it's great that someone's working on this - it's a much needed improvement.
I was messing around with watchlist header ideas recently, and found it looked quite good to have notices in a floating box off to the right, so they're separated from the actual options. Never did try actually implementing it, but thought it might be helpful. Would also be happy to beta test whatever you come up with.
