This is why I like Ubuntu Unity's notifications:

- you can't click on them

- if you hover them with the mouse, they go transparent

- if you do try to click, the click will pass-through to the GUI element underneath.

They never ever get in the way. And you can find them again if you miss one. I like 'em.




and I thought this behavior (which drove me crazy) was a bug: you try to click them and they fade away. what were they thinking?


MacOS's notifications drive me crazy like that... when I'm listening to music on iTunes and using my browser, I reach up to click a tab as the song changes and now I'm suddenly clicking iTunes instead.
