@Darren: notifications are always shown at the top of the screen as a design recommendation; if the panel is at the bottom, they still appear at the top of the screen
@Ryan: i don't think there was a regression recently here; we had some initial try some weeks ago at positioning the notifications not directly at the top, but the resulting gap was disturbing for most users @Nick: notify-osd looks for either the a gnome-panel at the top or the standard WORKAREA if no top gnome-panel can be detected; we don't strictly try to detect where the status icons are because they may be distributed over multiple panels and not necessarily in the order we would expect them to be to be able to decide where to actually display notifications. Instead we chose to attach them to the right side of the top panel (or the left side if your using a RTL language) -- regression vs. notification-daemon: positioning when multiple screens are available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD. Status in Notify OSD: Fix Released Status in Notify OSD Series: trunk: Fix Released Status in “notify-osd” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in notify-osd in Ubuntu Jaunty: Fix Committed Bug description: Binary package hint: notify-osd I use nvidia TwinView (one X desktop across two monitors). notification-daemon was apparently sensitive to this (presumably through Xinerama info?) and would popup on my primary screen. notify-osd seems to be unaware of this, and appears in the top right of the overall viewport, which is on my secondary screen, and less visible, so less useful as a notifier. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
