You're talking something similar as Windows 10 ?

</span>I like that you would ask first the VDG. I also ask in our group some<br>
times ago if we should think about the notifications and the first<br>
result was no they work nice as it is now. the only thing is that the<br>
"sections" are a little bit confused.<br>
<br>
Overall I'm not very happy how some plasmoids scale e.g. most of the<br>
time you can say move it in an panel or show it on the desktop. and<br>
when you show it on the desktop the scaling isn't that nice as it<br>
should be so in my point of view I would focus on the scaling. so that<br>
the user can say I want to have the notifications on the desktop or on<br>
an hidden big side panel or as it is now.<br>
