I don't know if this is the proper place to post this. I've done a mockup of what I think could be an idea for persistent notifications requiring user action. As with all other user actions, it would be in the Menu, where the System option would become highlighted. A new option in the menu would then appear informing the user of important notifications.
It would free up the notification area, become more clear to the user than a small icon (the change in color of the menu is clearly perceivable), and not intrusive as a popup. Here I attached an image. If this is not the correct place to propose this, I'm sorry, but it seems that it is where this discussion is taking place more vividly. ** Attachment added: "notification_idea.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27499653/notification_idea.png -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
