Notifications preferences configuration
The mail-notifications package has interesting configuration options and dialogs design that could be used.
gnome-osd
In new installs for machines I use and for friends/family I always install gnome-osd. It currently has pluggins including support for:
- Music player (rhythmbox)
- IRC (x-chat)
- EMail (evolution)
- Instant Messaging (Pidgin)
I hope the Notifications don't interfere with gnome-osd, in fact it would be useful to have options that could eventually replace gnome-osd functionality.
Other options that I believe are currently missing from the notifications options are:
- Avoid panels
- Font selection
- Animations
- Custom sound for different levels of importance
- Hide on Mouse-over
Position & size to mimic OSD (**)
(**) About this specific configuration option I'd like to see, On-screen display of volume changes (similar to what most TVs show) and private messages/ping on IRC, should be configurable to appear accross the screen instead of being confined to the small notification space on the top right corner. As such, this should be an option, not a hard setting, specially for volume and private messages/instant messaging, but other may use this too to raise their importance and visibility.
