the changes to notifications as compared to jaunty are a seriously retrograde step. i have just installed juliens fantastic package to fix this bug and it really is so much better. the correct behaviour should be that all passive notifications appear in the corner with existing notifications moving downwards to make room in a downward-growing stack. there was no need whatsoever to alter the jaunty behaviour.
i think it was as far back as the intrepid release that volume and brightness notifications appeared in the bottom-middle and it looked very nice. i have to say that i didnt feel the move to the top right was a negative development. the notifications themselves are very nice- looking, and the design of them is one thing that has improved with the karmic release. i have already seen the response from the ubuntu thought police about this which was essentially "i will hear your protestations just so long as they dont disagree with the "decided" policy" and frankly its the screensaver-settings nonsense all over again, and the attitude beggars belief. i am always telling people how good ubuntu is (and of course i still think its the best), but this is the first time i have upgraded and been really disappointed with the tinkering that has taken place. good day. -- Notifications should show up closer to top right https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
