Cool, but...

Hello,

For now it seems you work a lot on the eye-candy part of your app (themes, visual tweaks, options...) and it becomes more and more pretty. But what about the core of the job : notifications themselves ? IMO there's a LOT of work to do on notifications and in the panel, such as :

- When do you plan to truely handle the permanent (currently running) notifications ? Such as poweramp, weather apps, energy saver, instant messaging (ie trillian), or ssb !!... For the moment those are treated as single dismissable notifications, that's not acceptable. When will you do a "current" area in the panel to store such notifications, and to let them always visible ?

- When do you plan to truely handle the volatile ("auto-disapearing") notifications ? such as....... keyboard typing mode chooser in ics. Now you just "hide" it... That's not serious man you have to be able to make some auto-deletable notifications !

- Please put subtile lines between notifications, please separate icon from text, please allow the user to select the side he wants the icon to show, or not !, please do some setable margin options ! Actually the panel is not readable and very confuse... (and not configurable)

Notifications are the heart, the center of your app. When I purchased it, I thought you would FIRST work on this, making your panel AS usable as the default android panel, but I still can't see any improvements in notification-types handling. I have the same regrets about how icons a handled in the status bar, there have been little improvements on this however.

I did not post this to complain, but as a wish-list about what, as a customer, I really need from the app. I think ssb may become a very great app, once it's more usable than the default adroid one. Also please excuse my bad english.

Also I still have big bugs.

I have a galaxy note with (not rooted) ics 4.0.4.

I tried to reinstall the app several times (each rev), deleting cache and data.

- Since I upgraded to ics (even 4.0.3) I NEVER ever saw ANY popup ! The popups were showing properly on gingerbread though.

- I can see your new "game notification" feature, and for example in opera it will show properly. In some other apps, such as anttek explorer (set to fullscreen), the notifications will pop, but won't disappear. After a few minutes the status bar is totally flooded by those notifications (and it then stills cover the bar even in other apps), and the only way to endly delete it is to force close ssb (including the accessibility tool). Also, the user should be able to choose which apps may popup in fullscreen.

- I use mixmybar feature. I have put several things to show, only in the left part (kind of "classic inverted" layout). Such as time, battery, etc, and at last, notification icons. Those icons will NEVER show after the middle of the bar, and I can only see up to 3 icons... So from the middle to the right, the bar is EMPTY. Why ? I expect the notification icons (group) to extend to the right edge of my screen...

- It is better now but, I sometimes still have force closes when pulling the panel out. It also flickers a lot but you seem to be working on this.
