[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Notifications

[Gonzalo Odiard]

One problem we have right now with the notifications in Sugar,
is than is very easy lose a notification.
A common case is when you send a file to a friend.
Your friend receive a notification, and need accept it,
but the corner icon flash by a short time.
Is something difficult to balance, to not distract the user,
then need be carefully designed.
