[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Messages notification

[Anish Mangal]

* On top of ui changes, would it also make sense to play some
'notification' sounds as well? The HIG doesn't say anything about
sounds AFAIK

* Or flashing an icon or doing 'something' with the UI exactly when
the notification occurs.

* Also, what about conditionally (based on importance, urgency)
displaying un-addressed notifications (or bringing up the frame) as
soon as sugar UI boots up.

Your screenshot [1] looks very good to me. How about adding another
button "Display next 5 notations" next to the "Clear" one.
