Yes, there is some work to re-work some of that.  I have a particular
problem the shifting makes me sick to my stomach.  Something about that
movement causes me to have motion sickness believe it or not.

One more thing : activating a window through a notification takes two clicks
: one click which opens a new popup, and another click in the popup to put
the application in the foreground.
Can't that be shortened ?

Difficulties hovering the mail-notification icon

2011-02-01 Thread Thomas Bouffon
Hi,
Again a new thing I complain on : what a weener ! ;)
I Like the notification system which is hidden at the bottom, but I think
the right left animation is a bit too much : the vertical one already hides
the notifications, and the horizontal one is a bit too sensitive : I like to
read the subject of new emails via the mail-notification hand-over function,
to see if it's worth read yet or not. With the drawer system, I have to be
really carefull when hovering the notification : if I move my mouse a bit to
the left, I'm out of the notification, and it folds back to the right, so I
have to go back and unfold it. As far as I know, I'm not that bad at mouse
pointing, I even had some time ago some good skills at counter-strike :) .
Maybe, since we have all the screen width available, we can remove this
folding effect, perhaps animating the title as a banner if it is too long ?

Cheers,
Thomas
