Detailed Description
Notification-daemon is one of the libraries that though it supports theming, so far no effort has been made to make new, better separate themes for it. In Fedora, unlike Ubuntu, we use the standard theme, which looks ugly. This feature tries to create a better theme designed specially for Fedora, which means it needs to part of the Nodoka Theme.
The development is happening in the same place as the rest of the Nodoka Themes - [1].
Benefit to Fedora
New theme for notification daemon improves general user experience from the fedora artwork, which is therefore more consistent and better looking.
Scope
New engine that provides the same features as the default notification-deamon engine needs to be created and built into Fedora. We need a more convenient way for users to switch between the different themes than having to edit gconf keys.
Test Plan
- Build into Fedora
- Set as default engine
- Use
- Test themes selection
User Experience
User gets better looking notification bubbles but with same functionality as provides the upstream default theme.
Dependencies
None out of the scope of this future.
Contingency Plan
Stay with the current theme.
Documentation
None available.
Release Notes
None needed, perhaps just a note about the change.
