Gnome Shell - New Notifications
Summary
Redesign the way in which notifications are shown and kept available in gnome-shell.
Owner
- Name: Florian Müllner
- Email: fmuellne@redhat.com
- Release notes owner:
- Product: Workstation
- Responsible WG: Workstation WG
Current status
The new notification branch is in the process of being merged for 3.15.90 upstream.
Detailed Description
The message tray is one of the remaining weaker points of the original gnome-shell design. This change will replace it with a new implementation of notifications that avoids the problems of the current implementation.
A detailed description of the rationale and goals behind the changes was posted here.
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora users can enjoy their notifications more and become happier users of their OS.
