&gt; Hi All,<br>
&gt;<br>
<br>
Hi!<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; I just had an idea about the issue people have expressed before<br>
&gt; regarding notifications<br>
&gt; with progress bars auto-hiding. File copy was one particularly<br>
&gt; mentioned. Anyway, idea<br>
&gt; I had would allow it to hide, while still providing feedback for progress.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; If we turned the background of the notification icon into a pie chart<br>
&gt; that was the average<br>
&gt; of all ongoing progress notifications. I haven&#39;t looked into the<br>
&gt; feasibility of coding this, but<br>
&gt; it seemed like a non-intrusive way to show that those items are still<br>
&gt; going on and their<br>
&gt; progress without needing to leave the notification taking up a lot of<br>
&gt; screen real-estate.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Any thoughts on this?<br>
&gt;<br>
<br>
</div>That&#39;s an interesting idea.. I&#39;m not really sure if it&#39;s easy to \
code...<br> <br>
Anyways I proposed something similar at <a href="http://bugs.kde.org" \
target="_blank">bugs.kde.org</a>, at least to get<br> a graphical feedback if the \
notification is hidden: to show an<br> animated icon + adding some kind of tooltip:   \
You can see my proposals<br> at <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178938" \
target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178938</a><br> <br>
I tried to implement it one time... but I failed.... cause I don&#39;t<br>
know the whole system.. and I was probably relaying on some strange<br>
hacks...<br>
