Hi GetWell,

First: Nice work! I've had the same idea for InfoService. Now you've done the most work already. Perfect :D

I've implemented the notificationBar plugin into InfoService. It worked like it should, but why have you disabled the notification bar when a fullscreen video is playing?

Regards chris

Maybe this should be configurable? I was thinking how annoying it would be to see notifications while seeing a movie? :)

Any thoughts/ideas for a solution for this? :)

At least it should be configurable for the plugin developer. The plugin developer can now implement a checkbox, lets say "Show Notification while playing video" and let the user decide if he want's to be annoyed while watching a video :D

Just some suggestion i want to mention:
  • It would be cool, if a plugin developer can set a custom thumbnail before the text. For example: InfoService can show the feed image before the text.
  • Another great feature would be to support multiple lines for a notification. For infoservice, i would like to show the feed title (or a another header text like "A new feed message!") in the first line and on the second line the feed item title. Maybe it would be good to set a limit for the lines in your plugin, so that a plugin cannot hide the whole screen with one notification.
  • And just a small thing: I need to set the "SecondsToLive" property after i created the object. Perhaps it would be good to include the SecondsToLive property in the constructor.
I'm just wondering why this plugin isn't used by any other plugin i know. There are so much possibilties for this plugin. Also for the twitter part of InfoService i have some ideas :D
