messageTray: use BoxPointer for summary item titles
Last modified: 2012-11-02 15:06:48 UTC
Some people have requested it, so I rebased my patch from bug #636298 and re-filed it.
Created attachment 198429 [details] [review] messageTray: use BoxPointer for summary item titles The accordion resizing widget was a bit finnicky for some, so this may be a bit better. This also cleans up a lot of the implementation because of the constant moving of actors meant that the summaries needed to keep track of a lot of random state.
using the right component might help to get feedback from the right people...
Also, the bug title has no indication at all that this is about a significant user experience change...

This also cleans up a lot of the implementation because of the constant moving of actors meant that the summaries needed to keep track of a lot of random state. Fix notification icons getting "squashed", and the source title boxpointer appearing under other things, as well as general cleanup and related bugs. Just a note: this is still only a proof of concept. If we were to decide to go this route (I still think it's the "correct" route, TBH), then I need to go through all the comments and code and try to take out anything incorrect or extraneous.

Fix an issue where the box pointer wouldn't show after clicking on the summary item while it was open.
Jasper St. Pierre, Thank you a lot! You don't know how your patch made me happy! Now I have no complain about the messaging tray.
I *much* prefer this behaviour. Thank you for the patch!

There is an extension which looks to do the same thing. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/210/no-messagetray-text/ The discussion there may be relevant.
Obsoleted by the message tray updates in 3.6.
