Hi,

Now that we are on this issue, I started this summer something that I did 
never finish (now that I check it, I lost the small work I did there), but I 
would be willing to work deeply on it.

Basically, the main problem of KTip is:

a) I fire, say, Konqueror, since I am going to read news before going to 
university.
b) KTip comes up. I don't even read the title, I close it. (I can bet 99.99% 
of the users do this).
c) I use Konqueror.

What is the problem ? KTip is blocker. That means, dude, I fired Konqueror for 
a certain reason, _not_ to read tips !

So, I had an idea for "fixing" this problem, and was basically bring up a 
design which lets us show tips in a non blocker way.

Screenshots look like this:

Additionally, the user can go to the next or previous tip, and tips could be 
rotating depending on time, I think...

It would be nice to know your point of view of visual details as if that bar 
needs a different background or whatever.

Also, those tips that contain a huge text or an image could be added a button 
to read the tip itself, or that bar to be expanded (showing the first line of 
the tip, or well, I don't know exactly what). However, tips should always be 
brief.

What do you think ?


Regards,
Rafael Fernández López.
