Todo List

Sugar

Notifications

>  • Make notifications "slide into" or "out of" the Frame
Which notifications slide in or out?

Can you specify how the different types of notifications behave?

>  • Reveal palette when clicking on notification, or reaching screen corner
Ok

>  • Add "AlertBox" for use with palettes/notifications
Ok

Clipboard

> • Use notification (instead of revealing Frame) when making a clipping
Ok

> • Create clipping API (title, creator, icon, preview)
Asked about this in a separate thread.

>  • Add clipping previews (related to above)
Which clipping types can be previewed? Just images and text?
> • Color copy/paste buttons in activities
Which colors should take? Just the local colors?
> • Fix visual style for drag'n'drop
Can you specify?
