If I am working I want to ignore the update message. I will have time for it later in the day. I don't want to decide anything, I want to keep on working. This is already decided. I don't want to take an action. I don't want a pop-up/pop-under (so I have to actively close it). I want a notification for this. It will go away by itself. Maybe a scarier notification (with a different background color, red for example), can be good. So that even though I am free to ignore it, I will know that it is red, then it is a system notification. > * When the user has chosen not to download updates , These > notification repeat again at a later > time[10mins/30mins/1hr/4hrs/1day/7days],which the user chooses from a > drop-down menu and if the user tries to shutdown before updating he is > reminded again via the same alerts. Really? Usually, if I do not choose to update right away it is because I am concentrating on what I am doing. Usually I can not accurately predict for how long I will work to define the exact moment the update notification should appear again. If the notification appears while I am still concentrating I will not look at it. Or are you talking about the pop-under (that would annoy me again if I am working)? I would greatly prefer to have a constant reminder in the panel. Paulo -- Paulo José da Silva e Silva Professor Associado, Dep. de Ciência da Computação (Associate Professor, Computer Science Dept.)
