sliding bubbles adds a slick interface , but as Nick said , sliding would make reading difficult... How about the *bubble sliding works when the user is typing* to catch his attention , but as soon as the typing stops, the sliding stops and the bubble timer starts. that way sliding serves as a means to attract attention, when user is concentrating on some other part of the screen. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
