I too strongly feel that the default font size, and the size of the
notification bubble itself, needs to be customizable. With the current
settings, it pops up a tiny 230x93 window (see screenshot) which amounts
to 12x7.5% of my screen real-estate. Now I have 20/20 vision, and while
the font is
That's a very good point about the fact that the notification appears at the
top right of the screen, which your eyes are not usually focused upon. Now
that's fine because it means it's out of the way, but it does result in
these very difficulties. Especially if the message is urgent.

I also would like to see the font size and color of notifications
changable. At this time, I am unable to read white text on black
backgrounds, so I see a blurred text on black each notification. This
does NOT make for a good experience. I am left wondering what those
things say, since I can not
It would be really nice if notify-osd bugs tagged a11y would have some
sort of realistic milestone assigned to them, as opposed to simply
wishlist. It reflects badly on the project when these issues don't get
the attention they deserve. I don't think I am alone in this opinion.

Is it THAT difficult to make notify-osd's fonts configurable?
I'm not shure about this, but i'm using xubuntu karmic and notify-osd doesn't
seem to use xfce's fonts, i have sans 8 with DPI 73 and notify-osd's fonts are
MUCH larger than my application fonts.

If this bug is really so difficult to fix (I understand about the
extreme cases), why not provide an interface which allows for only a
subset of font sizes/colours/whatever? Say sizes 6 to 18 or whatever are
valid. I can't think of a case where you would want extremes beyond that
level.

This is something for a11y and the design team to discuss. At some point
we had it looking like this
summary = 1.2 * application font-size
body = 1.0 * application font-size
but the design team suggested the current set of values we use now.

I'm in favour of being able to customise the font size. The current
default should be optimal for most users, but Simon's case is a good
example of a situation when additional options are necessary.

The default size may be usable to most users, but to some others it could be
a backwards step because the notification font can not be changed depending
on the user requirements. I see no point in why the system MUST use a
specific font and size for this makes things inconsistent with everything
The current font size *is* configurable. It changes in sync with your
system font size setting. What we're discussing here is adding the
ability to set the font size for notifications independently of your
system settings.

I agree that this capability is needed. Whether or how to expose this
preference to the user in the form of a UI, is a different discussion.
notify-osd should have the technical capability to use a font other than
the system's application font, probably in the form of a setting in it's
That is a nasty request for the following reasons.
1.) The whole rendering will have to be changed to be bullet-proof for
very extreme cases of values users can set. That will blow up the code.
2.) What should the UI for changing the summary- and body-text look
like?
3.) Where should it be put?
Hey Mirco,
I actually think the hardest part of implementing this would be the
configuration backend (I am assuming it won't be gconf because we are
trying to stay desktop-agnostic?).
1. How is the case different today? The user could have some extreme and
weird system settings that in turn
Mirco, I agree with you that this is not something we should support
through a preference that is easily user settable. If it's relatively
easy to have an override gconf key for the two fonts required, then feel
free to support that and close the bug.
