Notify-osd critical notifications should appear over fullscreen

[Mirko]

I recently switched to linux and I'm almost tempted to give up on it because something I considered as an essential feature isn't available and I found no way to fix it:

If devs decide not to allow notify-osd notifications to be shown over a fullscreen application by default because, as I found out, people requested it, others who want them to show should have the ability to decide whether at least critical notifications should show. Why shouldn't the volume or brightness bar appear over a fullscreen movie or video whenever the levels are adjusted? Really, who would think of it as bothersome? If they do they can disable all notifications over fullscreen or have it by default, but then people who want them should have the possibility to have them over fullscreen apps.

I'm very disappointed, I chose linux because I thought of it as highly customizable, even if I had to learn the code to do that, but notify-osd it's very limited, it has no settings at all, not even a duration parameter, people had to release modified versions of notify-osd to overcome some personalization limits (but not for fullscreen notification), I could have expected it on an apple environment, but definitely not on linux. Would a couple of lines of code added actually hog the system? I think not.

You should give us the ability to set certain parameters at least the most basic ones.
