--- Comment #6 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- What I think we have here is a conflict between the legitimate desire to keep notifications out of the way and non-annoying with the legitimate desire to make critical notifications adequately attnetion-getting. This may seem strange, but anecdotally I have observed users who completely miss notification pop-ups in the periphery of their screens. This is hard for me to understand since for me the pop-up is impossible to miss. But I have seen this happen quite often for my wife (who uses Plasma) and my mother, father, and sister (who all use MacOS, which has a similar style of pop-up). Raitaro seems to be experiencing the same issue. I have never seen this happen for people using Windows 10, which has enormous, intrusive, stupid-looking pop-ups. But that's not a great solution since then non-critical pop-ups get in your way and annoy you a ton. It's an unsatisfactory sledgehammer solution, but it seems to have been specifically designed to address this, which I think is evidence that it's a legitimate issue. Perhaps we can satisfy both parties by keeping non-critical notifications exactly as they are (small, out of the way, unobtrusive) while somehow increasing the visual prominence of only critical notifications. I think the proposed full screen overlay is much too intrusive, but maybe we could consider some kind of middle ground? Like making the pop-up bigger, or making it wiggle or giving it a pulsing red border or header or something (just random ideas)? Critical notifications are the kind of thing you really *do* need to see, read and acknowledge. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
