--- Comment #26 from apache <sabayo...@gmail.com> --- Taking into account usability, we have: time factor, look factor, importance of notification factor (which appeared to be subjective / personally biased). I don't know how many unstated here factors you want to take into account to make usability issue clear and proceed to the next step. You may suggest some if they wasn't stated here. I admit that I am not familiar with desktop usability studies. So some insight maybe useful for all taking part in this conversation. > So far people are articulating that they are having difficulty noticing > notifications which time out, particularly on large screens.

What is the difference between large screen and small screen considering usability of notifications? > I'm not sure that would be so effective if the root problem is notifications > not being noticed at all. That crosses out timeout and allow to proceed to the next factor: how to make them more noticeable. You can change font color, background color and font size or even type of notification and their behavior. You can make it more complex and as some articles that you can google by: notification+usability suggest provide different types of notifications: High-attention, Medium-attention, Low-attention. And they can be also characterized by other factors like from what application notification comes from and what it actually notify about. For example: https://uxdesign.cc/a-comprehensive-guide-to-notification-design-2fff67f08b7a But this is the whole new level of complication for this issue and more complex than just allowing to change font size and color. And I am sure whatever you hardcode there will be some users that still want more customization. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
