Hi,

Looking at the patch, as well as the apparent 'unthemability' inherited from the understanding of the Open Desktop Specification described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Bubble%20appearance%20and%20layout

I'm thinking that the reluctance to review/merge could be connected to the fact that the patch demands - as I read it - that a theme have set variables for all the various aspects?

I was initially thinking myself of writing a simpler patch that allowed one simple gconf setting, whether to inherit the color scheme from the theme [ie an override of the 'unthemable' notion], then I suppose the natural would be to simply pick up the 'tooltips' color scheme, for the bubbles? Further to that, as I see the actual location troubles some people, some gconf settings for relative transparency, relative location, etc could be worthwhile?

It'd be intriguing to hear whether a gconf 'override' setting could potentially be acceptable, then it may be worthwhile making a more limited patch that makes themability optional / demands no actual changes to the nature of themes?

Best regards

Mark
