Kroll contacted me a while back about displaying IM notifications since Diablo5 removed the task switcher that was showing them. I finally got around to looking into it and discovered that if I open a dialog, any open menus will close. This is good news since ASUI will now be able to open and immediately close a dialog when it needs to map itself or its event eater window.

Anyway, asui-settings will be getting an option to enable the display of IM messages for those with Diablo5. Would it be better to show the messages as a temporary notification or in a dialog that must be closed? The dialog messages would stack so closing one will reveal the next message and so on. The notifications would only be seen if you are using your tablet when they arrive. I'm just worried about someone who may receive a lot of messages and have to close a lot of dialogs.

So if you'd use this feature, please let me know how best to handle the notifications. Other ideas are also welcome.
