never in both<br></blockquote><div><br>I see. Just a thought - how about hiding the icons in the systray (or even the whole systray itself) during expanded 'activated' state, so that all the icons are 'moved' to the overlay, and are thus only in one place?<br>

</div>in the sense: your first mockup is a fullscreen window, so it totally<br>
interrupts the user work.<br>
i think this is fine for phone calls, not anything else, that should be more<br>
discrete<br></blockquote><div><br>Okay got it. I just had another idea - how bout if I scrapped the full-screen window thing (so there is only 1 notification 'mode' now), and instead create an additional "notification display" plasmoid that looks and works just like my first mockup? That way if I have an application open it'll never get in my way since the desktop and its plasmoids are underneath. But if I have it in my pocket (which should mean I don't have an app open) then when I take it out it's the first thing I see on the desktop.<br>
<br>It might be nice to have such a plasmoid in Plasma Desktop and Plasma Netbook too I think :)<br><br clear="all">----<br>Jason "moofang" Lim Yuen Hoe<br><a href="http://yuenhoe.co.cc/">http://yuenhoe.co.cc/</a><br>
