We all agree on this.

I favor a simple progress bar - movement catches the eye quite well.

I wouldn't over-generalize this, to be honest.  (IMO the old knotify stuff =
was=20
over-generalized.  Nobody would configure each and every event to suit his=

needs, or even have a popup & sound for "game started" etc.)

A simple priority setting is important for the next topic, but visually, I=

don't think that the appearance should change too much.  I think a proper=20
theming (a *little* richtext, icon) + a progress bar would suffice.  But=20
nowadays, we have great artists, so this won't become bad. :-)
