Hi Gof,

One interesting idea might be to redirect notifications between different machines.
P.ex: I'm on my laptop away from home but I left my desktop computer running and I want to see if there was some kind of message left by some app (this could be done with the queue/logs said above)... or just redirect new messages to my new location.

BTW, great work. It's really cool to see such interesting work going on knotify and KDE4 in general :)

From a design point of view, what I find missing currently is the animation: in most of windows apps, the popup slowly slides from the taskbar, hiding other windows. While KDE3 popups are just displayed without animation.

It doesn't seem difficult to implement, and it would be a pity if this animation was not present in KDE4...

Suppose you have 3 kinds of notification :
info
important
alert

we could use a standard color to differentiate them. We could even think about the fact the user may want to filter them ( aonly display alter notification, etc ... )

Gnome is doing ithis with libnotify and notification-daemon

Currently timed popup is lost so there's no way to find out a message has arrived.

Applications (such as media player) will be able to block popup (with Aaron's KNotifyRestriction.)

A central place to dislay all notification will be possible. This was already possible in KDE3 with "log to a file" and show this file in a karamba applet.
But now that the deamon also allow easy extentions this could be made in hard.

This is a great way to get a silent yet noticeable notification especially when you're playing games or watching a movie. I'd really love if this is in knotify right from the start.
Thanks for the efforts on knotify, this is great for Kopete but of course also for the rest of the KDE apps.

I think it would be cool to incorporate something along the lines of what Zack Rusin is doing to make your own baloons and popups in SVG if possible. I'm not sure if this is possible but zack blogged (zrusin.blogspot.com/) on a way to make your own gui with SVG. It would be good if balloons could be made this way too.

Just my thoughts.

Two ideas I would find useful to have in KDE4:

a) A global "presence" setting: If I am in "do not disturb" mode (i.e. working), don't show notifications from e.g. kopete or konvi.

b) There could be some widget where I can see the notifications arrived while I was in DND mode/away from keyboard/not paying attention. It could give a quick overview over what happened when I was away, like: two IM messages, three people telling me something in konvi, 10 new mails etc. This would make the notifications less volatile and one could review if needed.

The latter would need some way to register e.g. a plasmoid as a notification listener.

That's just ideas, I didn't think too much about them, so I am not sure how much sense they make and if such things should be done in knotify :-)
