Ability to click through a notification to what's z-under it #79

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Currently, the user can only click on a notification, close it, or (if it's not 
sticky) let it fade out. The 
user should be able to set a modifier-key combination that changes Growl's 
behavior to let the user 
click on something z-under the notification, unless the user is holding those 
keys down and no 
others.

I'd like to see this feature, specifically I'd like to see click through 
available as
the default.

It's pretty bad when a growl message pops up just as you're about to click on
something underneath - this happens fairly commonly to me, especially with 
search
boxes or browser buttons. 

I either have to slow down my workflow (wait) or hit the exact close button on 
the
notification...

Ubuntu's system that blurs out a notification on hover and allows you to click
through it, while initially a bit strange if you're used to Growl, becomes 
really
addictive after time.

How soon after the notification starts fading in do you click?

My notifications fade in so fast that I'm not sure I could click before they 
were
fully 'there' - I just tested it with the QuickSilver iTunes notification and 
it's
only when I actually pre-empt the notification that I can click before it fully
materialises. I don't think I've tweaked any settings relating to that. The 
iTunes
notification from QS is not so disruptive because it just disappears on click, 
unlike
the Dropbox one which takes me to dropbox...

Is that what you were asking?

We'll look into this for 3.0.

I found that property "ignoresMouseEvents" of NSWindow meets this, and just 
simply setting this property to YES can (partly) implement this feature.

I would love this feature. Ubuntu notifications do it and it's great. It'd be 
BEST if you could toggle it on the menu bar or set it for certain applications. 
Really messes up when using ableton live.

I also have no idea where to set "ignoresMouseEvents"

@Geoff.Gu…: ignoresMouseEvents is a property of NSWindow. It can only be set 
in the internal implementation inside Growl, not in a style sheet.
