Nodoka Notification Theme Draft

"Proword"

We use the notification system a lot - to notify user of old battery, empty battery, new mail, playing song, installed packages, available updates, ... so it should be given some love. The current theme is plain, and in a word ugly. So we propose to create a notification theme as part of the Nodoka Theme .

Notification messages are handled by libnotify, we need to look at it's theming possibilites, what we can do to make it look nice.

We target this on F10.
