Bug description:
The new notification system introduced in Ubuntu Jaunty is very nice, however I
want to put my suggestions on the table for consideration.
The font size for the notification bubble seemingly cannot be changed to allow
for users with visual difficulties (such as myself) to more easily read the
contents. After doing some research I have discovered that the standard font
sizes for the notification on screen display are as follows:
Title: application font
Body: 0.8x application font
This to me is very restrictive. I have my application font size set to 12 as it
is the easiest for me and gives me the best combination of screen real-estate
and usability. However, the notification font is far too small for me to read
at a glance without using the compiz enhanced zoom plugin to read what is going
on.
I would suggest maybe adding an ability to set font sizes for notifications in
one of two places; the pop-up notifications settings manager in
system->preferences, OR in the standard font settings window in the appearances
manager.
Obviously, this would require a method of resizing the bubble to fit the
contents depending on the size of the font used, but I do not believe this
would be complicated to achieve.
I do not believe this would complicate the system for users but it will give
them greater control over how their system functions.
