[Under consideration] Notifications Widget
 

Currently (Missed calles / New SMS / New IM / New eMail) notifications don't appear on your desktop, you have to click on the Active Tasts button to see these notifications.

It would be great to have a widget that you can add to one or more of your desktops that aggregates your notifications in a compact way such that you can notice your notifications easily

Re: Notifications Widget
 

If I'm not misunderstanding your idea, this already exists, and I have it installed currently. In my general use, though, I'm at least as likely to have one or more apps open as I am to have it on the home screen, so I don't really mind tapping the switcher button. Aside from the extra tap, I think the notifications are quite elegant. But anyhow, yes, there is a widget for this, so please try it out, and if it works for you, you should probably close the Brainstorm thread
Cheers

Thanks jaem, can you tell me where do I find this Widget?

Cause currently the only notification you get on your desktop is a change in the color of the switcher button from blue to white, which isn't that visible

It's called "Conversations Inbox", or some such, and it should be in extras.

But it don't show e-mails.

Neither missed calles :(

Re: Notifications Widget
 

ah, I missed that... sorry. Well, I think it's Open Source, so presumably that could be added. I don't have time to look into it now, though. If nobody else responds after a while, you could try e-mailing the author of the widget (the e-mail address should be listed under Details in the App Manager), and suggesting it to them - but if they don't agree, then either figure it out yourself, find someone else who's willing to do it, or live without. Open Source coders are usually a pretty helpful bunch, but if it isn't a priority for the developer, then you have the option of exercising your rights to fiddle with the code, or convince someone else to fiddle with it for you.

Re: Notifications Widget
 

I like rami's idea. The Conversations inbox widget only handles SMS messages. It also has a major flaw. When you have a message and tap the widget, it just clears out. I doesn't bring you to the conversations app as it should.

Maybe something more like this? (obviously not in the same form-factor)
