notifications: make whole area clickable
Last modified: 2010-07-27 11:18:20 UTC
The notifications feature is very nice, only, I spent a week wondering why i couldn't click on it to go to the activity. Turns out I can only click the icon. This is very unclear. It's a very small hit target as well. Suggestion: make the whole notification clickable.

Just extend the clickable area to the whole notification.
Review of attachment 163510 [details] [review]: We definitely want this behavior, but the patch needs to be updated to not open the Empathy chat when the chat box entry is clicked. I tested it for when you click on the notification actions, and it doesn't open the application in that case, which is right.

Good point. Updated patch to generally exclude the action area.
