Legacy Compatibility
Guidelines
The notification area is deprecated in GNOME 3 and shouldn't be used.
The GNOME 3 notification servers, gnome-shell and notification-daemon (for non-3d fallback), support what we are calling notification persistence. This means that notification bubbles won't be transient and require backing with a status icon. This will allow us to drop use of status icons in these cases. An application can detect if the notification server supports persistence by checking the server capabilities. Here's an example.
On the other hand, we'll probably have to add a hint to allow some notifications to remain transient. For example, offline/online buddy status or non-critical battery level warnings, etc.
And some sources need to stay resident in the tray even after an action is invoked. For example, clicking next track in the Rhythmbox notification should not remove the source from the tray.
Setting hints
To set the new 'transient' or 'resident' or other boolean hints, use the notify_notification_set_hint() API, as follows:
notify_notification_set_hint (notification, "transient", g_variant_new_boolean (TRUE));
Usage of notification area
High Priority
Application |
Use/mention of notification area or tray |
Recommendation |
Status |
abrt |
Shows an icon with tooltip of message "X has crashed". Launches abrt app on click. |
Drop status icon and rely on existing notification. See also GnomeShell/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting |
|
brasero |
Shows "progress" of current task graphically. Focuses app window on click. |
Use MessageTray to indicate status when in background (eg. "Burning PROJECT to disc") or when completed (eg. "PROJECT has been burned to CD"). |
|
banshee |
Has tray icon that can be right-clicked, scrolled over, and pops up a window when playing and hovered |
Same as for Rhythmbox, presumably |
|
deja-dup |
Shows an icon during the backup operation. Tooltip shows state (eg. "Preparing..."). Left and right click show a menu of "Show progress" (toggle), "Resume later" |
Drop status icon. Use notifications for actions when running in background. See brasero or nautilus. |
|
empathy |
Empathy's Contact List has an option under "Preferences > Notifications" to "Show incoming messages in the messaging menu". If checked, there is no icon in the Notification Area. If unchecked, there is an icon in the Notification Area that (a) represents your status, (b) alerts you to new messages by blinking, and (c) has a right-click menu with items (1) Show contact list [toggle], (2) New conversation..., (3) New call..., (4) Status [with status submenu], and (5) Quit. Left-click does nothing other than focus the Contact List window. |
Drop status icon and rely on notifications for messages. Rely on App launching and switching to get chat history/buddy window. |
