This box is the smallest of the 3 samples. How could it be too much to read before it goes away? I'm confused. > 2. > http://smoke.skunk.one.pl/~emes/gajim-allinone.jpg > much better, i think. readable, but adding some text styling would > make it great, if possible at all. This is way too big, in my opinion. That would fill half my screen. I like that you are showing more info but I think showing multiple messages (i.e., all messages in a gmail conversation) is too much. Showing a separate notification for each message is more scalable and easier to quickly read. > 3. > http://smoke.skunk.one.pl/~emes/gajim-allinone+snippet.jpg > too much information for me. unreadable without styling (e.g. printing > snippet in italic or low-contrast). Even worse than number 2. I replied off-list to Yann's last email (accidentally but didn't bother to repost to the list) but here's a screen capture of GTalk's notification for reference. http://picasaweb.google.com/beerfan/Gajim/photo#5070098207340449986 Not that I'm trying to steer Gajim towards duplicating GTalk but, for myself, it is the XMPP client which most closely follows the same interface philosophy which is the main reason that I prefer it. I hope my criticisms won't discourage you though. You're on the right track. I just think less is more.

[Gajim-devel] Proper From line in Gmail notifications
Ugh, sorry Yann for the repost. The list uses the sender for the from instead of the list address. Resending to the list.

You might look at Google Talk's mail notification (if you have access to a Windows system) for inspiration. It works like this. Notification popup appears (in the lower right corner) showing the following info; +---+ | Gmail icon Sender (name or address) | | Subject: Up to 2 lines | | 1 / 5Body text up to 4 lines | | < >blah blah | +---+ The arrow buttons below the message number allow paging back or forward among the unread messages but otherwise the notification will automatically page through unread messages once at short intervals. If more messages come in later and there are still unread messages, only new messages are notified about but the x / x number shows the total number of unread messages. I find Google Talks mail notifier to be the most informative and least intrusive that I've encountered. So much so, in fact, that I hacked the Gmail Notifier python program (somewhere on sf.net) to duplicate it exactly (so don't use Gajim's ;-) Cheers, Chris ___ Gajim-devel mailing list Gajim-devel@gajim.org https://lists.gajim.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/gajim-devel

Not that I'm not enjoying this discussion, but this issue and patch
should probably be added to the bug tracking wiki.

I've received the following response from the author of the images. "Chris, thanks for the email. I'll look into seeing if we can get the artwork under some kind of open licence." It looks like it could happen. I'll let you know if I can any further response. Cheers, Chris ___ Gajim-devel mailing list Gajim-devel@gajim.org https://lists.gajim.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/gajim-devel
