I guess I just changed my opinion towards this: If you are watching a movie or looking at photos, you don’t want the cursor and notifications in the way … if it is actively being used because you’re in a workflow, you don’t want to be annoyed either.
The annoyance is the major disadvantage and may well be the knock-out argument. Basically, users don’t want and should not be annoyed by any notification, neither in the notification area nor on the mouse cursor. The small advantage of higher visibility is nullified by the fact that to not be annoying, the notifications have to be limited to a very small set. That does not justify creating another place for notifications. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
