Hi Caty,
Ok, then we don't implement them as Sticky Notifications, but the UIX could
take the styling from Notifications.

Hi devs,
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-16119 wants to make the
Notifications /
Activity Stream look nicer.
I've made a proposal at
https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/Notifications11x/
Let me know what you think.
Looks good thanks!
Some comments:
* The Alert area has a UIXP and the Notifications are just one UIX for
that UIXP. The Watchlist settings are another UIX and today the License
Application also contributes a UIX.
* I’m not sure yet how much we would need Sticky Events since today the
missing License warnings are implemented as a UIX and not as Notification
Events. I don’t think we really have a need right now. Feels nice but not
sure about it in practice.
* Collapsible settings: I don’t see the arrow for the
Notifications UIX.
What is called Notifications is actually a “Watching” UIX.
Maybe we can add the expanding activator with JS. The idea if that I've
tried to hide the Watchlist area. The watchlist has also a lot of automatic
behavior that auto-watches the pages created by you, etc. The manual
watches should be done by advanced users. Also they take a lot of space and
they are not really usual for Notifications areas. So that's why I've tried
to hide them.
* “Social Events”: I’m not convinced that we should
mix mentions with
notifications. IMO that makes it hard to see the messages. I would use a
different system for mentions and have a different UIX in the Alert menu
for them.
We already integrate them in Notifications. I just restyled them in order
to fit the new UI. The Message Stream has their own templates, and they
follow a different pattern of event display.
Thanks,
Caty
