GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 775798
Notification/calendar drop-down - indicate when banners are disabled
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:36:27 UTC
There have been occasions in the past when I've disabled notification banners - like during a meeting, when I don't want to be disturbed - and then forgotten about them being disabled. It would be really helpful if the notification list provided a reminder that banners have been disabled. One way to do this would be a simple string at the top - "Notification banners have been turned off", with a "Turn On" button alongside.
(In reply to Allan Day from comment #0) > One way to do this would be a simple string at the top - "Notification > banners have been turned off", with a "Turn On" button alongside. What about the list containing notifications from apps for which banners have been disabled? It's buried deeper in the settings, so maybe that's not really an issue? Also bug 749295 is related, as it would cover the meeting use case without having to change the banner setting ...
bug 751369 is also related, as the "banner" setting isn't easily understood.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
