which we know as SNIs. It's the same thing - it's an icon in<br />
your top panel and when you pull the panel down, you see<br />
the title, text and available actions. This is _exactly_ what<br />
SNI does, it just so happens that on desktop the representation<br />
is always an icon with context menu. It has title, text and<br />
actions and is often accompanied by a popup notification.</p>
<p>That said, I realize you want to target as broad userbase<br />
as possible, but if Gnome decides to not be cross-desktop<br />
compatible, well screw 'em, their fault. It bothers me that<br />
people always have to find alternate, many times sub-par<br />
solutions and the reason is "Gnome" that never wants to<br />
play along with about anything. But I digress.</p>
<p>I still think having a notification sticked to the screen<br />
with indefinitely-high timeout is not the solution. If only<br />
for the unpredictability of servers. Given the user has to<br />
initiate the pairing and the user is then expected and required<br />
to complete the pairing, how about using some modal way<br />
to confirm the pairing? Like a popup dialog? I mean if the<br />
point of the interaction is to complete the pairing and if<br />
it's imperative that the pairing completes, then just put<br />
it in front of the user square and center to confirm. Raising<br />
the notification timeout for this to me is a workaround<br />
at best.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R289 KNotifications</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D4663" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D4663</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>EMAIL PREFERENCES</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>albertvaka, Frameworks, apol<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>mck182, Frameworks<br /></div>
