What about making a "list" of all the plugins, so that the user can disable/enable each, and perhaps change degree of notifications (silet/verbose(?)), and or change in detail what it will notify about (for example "When IM buddy logs on" and so on.. This may be implied though. I for one hate when "Your buddy logged in" while watching a film, but battery-notification is important enough. Making it customizable is at least a must."Pier Luigi Fiorini" <pierluigi.fiorini@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:It's something that is standard on (almost) every system.Sure, but I haven't seen an implementation yet that didn't annoy me. It's a balancing act in getting useful information to the user, and not interrupting him in his work. In the example of Salvatore, a simple notifcation is not enough, though - when the system has no battery power anymore, the user indeed should be interrupted :-)
For me the best info popper implementation is OSX Growl (http://www.growl.info ), you can customize almost every aspect of it, which applications are enabled and even in each application which information should be displayed (for example message received, incoming file, etc)
Even OSX Skype is using Growl :)
