Pretty amazing stuff here. Stunning work on the software blurs too. Wow.

I have only one hope and that is that the notification colour coding is palettized to a proper palette as opposed to some usability thinktank on colour.

Great work MacSlow…

Is that urgency thing going to be optional? I find it to be pretty distracting to be honest, and I really don’t like the way it looks.

I’d rather prefer if ‘urgency’ was used to prioritize or even suppress notifications, like say: suppress the notification of a song change if there’s lots of other, more important notifications like disk space warnings or instant messages happening at the same time.

Sorry if this is already being discussed somewhere else, but your blog is the first place I saw this.

@ jpf: Tja, leider ist das Entwickler-Leben nicht immer lustig. Das Wochenende war echt ätzend.

@ Vincent: It is called “dodge” (not sure how that is translated into Dutch, but in German it’s “Ausweichen”) and I use a duration of 350 ms for it. You can grab my compiz-profile settings here: http://macslow.net/compiz-default.profile

blur is not available on intel gma945, right?
and personally i don’t like the proximity fade thingy.. i prefer growl’s way where you can click the notification to go away rather than fading and the ability to click through the notification. besides that, notify-osd looks great.
