	Placing the consolidated history of all notifications in as a device icon would avoid overloading the ~~screen~~ corners with new UI behaviours, though dilutes the spacial link between a corner notification and its frame edge. Would notification text appear both in this device icon and a frame menu?

	Mockup notification showing a file transfer to another user that has been remotely declined. Note that having displayed each full palette the notification badges on the frame icons have all been cleared. Revealing a palette with an old, already displayed notification could display the notification in grey to indicate it has been viewed instead of white (if it has not timed out and been auto removed).

			Messages from a schoolserver could use the same technique as the existing transfer to/from design. This could cover XS registration messages, institutional broadcast messages (the case shown above), and perhaps automatic updater messages (would make sense if schoolservers are being used to cache yum repos).

	'''Cons.''' 1) Notification is not visually linked to the specific activity that generated it, e.g. if several uploads are ongoing which one was just declined? 2) Makes new use of the frame corner space, very lightly to interfere with the frame hot corners, accidentally triggering the notification palette when trying to open the frame. 3) Adds new full size icon clutter/complication to the frame corners (which must be different than the icon of the actual activity to avoid confusion, e.g. two journal icons in the frame would be confusing).

	New notifications pulse several times in their related frame corner and then are hidden as per [[Design_Team/Designs/Frame#12]].

New notifications pulse several times in their related frame corner and then are hidden as per [[Design_Team/Designs/Frame#12]]. In this example a notification from the Journal activity is shown pulsing in the top left corner (activity and shell notifications). The small notification badge allows for potentially different notification types or levels, and helps reinforce that this pulsing icon is indeed a notification (contrast with the copy to clipboard event icon pulse in the bottom left, where no badge is needed).
