:: 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.

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).

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).

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).

===Alternative corner history design===

For completeness, this was an initial attempt at a notification UI based on a [[Features/Messages Notification|feature proposal]] from [[User:Tch]].

'''Pros.''' 1) Simpler to implement. 2) All notification messages in a single place (well for each given corner type).

'''Pros.''' 1) Simpler to implement. 2) All notification messages in a single place (well for each given corner type).

'''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).
