[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Messages notification

[Gary C Martin]

Hi Martin,

Just wanted to give you a heads up that I have a slightly different design coming together for notifications.

After further, more detailed, work the frame corner notification history palette idea is not coming together so well. I've switched to mockups that actually badge the existing icons in the frame, and add the notification messages to the end of their existing pop-up palettes. It holds truer (I think) to the original HIG and previous mockups of Eben's intent for notifications. I'll try and get the set of new images uploaded to the wiki later this week for folks to review.

Regards,
--Gary
