Frame Notifications

Rationale:
Notifications have so far been partially implemented to cover activity invitations, journal object transfer, clipboard copy events, and an activity event (used by IRC to notify of user nick mention). This proposal attempts to show a more complete solution.
Features:
  1. <1st feature here>
  2. <2nd feature here>
Implementation Details:

Activity corner pulse

back | next

 
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).

Notification badges

Once the frame is revealed, activities with un-viewed notifications are badged with a notification icon. A square with an exclamation mark is the current stand-in for a notification badge, but there may be more than one icon to represent different states. Example: When an out of focus activity displays an alert strip, its frame icon should be badged (perhaps a triangle with an exclamation mark).

Journal example

Hovering over a frame activity icon (or right click) reveals the full activity palette but also includes the notification message, or messages if there are more than one, at the bottom of the palette. Note that the badge is removed from the frame icon once the full palette is displayed. Lifetime of the notification would be based on the GNOME specification.
