how do you feel about splashes which you can dismiss?
JdGordon:
note to self... dont get into arguments when overtired...
Llorean:
Just a note - 4 is unlikely to lead to accidental button presses unless you're in the habit of pressing a button several times when you meant to only press it once.
2 and 3, on the other hand, will lead to people trying to dismiss splashes, only to have them disappear right before they tried to press the button, which will lead to accidental button presses. I think you got that footnote mixed up.
gevaerts:
I mostly like the way splashes behave now.
* I don't want to have to press buttons to make them go away in a reasonable time
* I don't think 3s or 4s is a reasonable time to wait for "normal" splashes
* Allowing variable-length splashes to be dismissed is going to lead to accidental button presses
Also, insulting people who disagree with isn't going to make you many friends.
pixelma:
I'm with gevaerts on all points.
nls:
I like the idea of being able to dismiss splashes but maybe we should couple the timeout with some kind of visual indication. Or y'know just make it configurable ;) maybe the following options?
* timeout after X seconds (no dsimissal)
* timeout after X seconds (early dismissal possible)
* don't timeout, wait for user to dismiss (with helpful "press <button> to close" of course)
X could be settable too...
