<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,<br></div><div><br>Three different ideas. <br><br>Number 1:<br>--------------<br><br></div><div>Maybe you should do this like the (non-social) help, and not display the option for activities that don't have a form. I'm not sure how possible that would be; depends on your architecture.<br>
<br></div><div>Number 2:<br></div><div>--------------<br><br>Why don't you just do like what happens in the journal?<br><br>When the journal can't find any items it replaces the listview with a label that says "Can't find anything :P" (okay, not exactly).<br>
<br><div>Number 3:<br></div>--------------<br><br></div><div>I think Walter made a pull request to add a service to show notification banners (like you want). Here is the pull request & discussion: <a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/pull/139">https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/pull/139</a><br>

<div><br></div><div>The use case is like this: The user presses a keyboard shortcut (alt+shift+c) to launch an activity. However, if a certain condition is met, we <i>don't</i> launch the activity and instead we show the user a notification in the currently active/running activity.
