I would like to test it and post a screenshot, however I am not able to compile it:

1. I cloned the source from the git repository
2. mkdir plasma-workspace/applets/notifications/build
3. cd plasma-workspace/applets/notifications/build
4. cmake ..

This resulted in

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:11 (kcoreaddons_desktop_to_json):
  Unknown CMake command "kcoreaddons_desktop_to_json".

5. I then added

find_package(KF5Plasma REQUIRED)

to the CMakeLists.txt, which at least make cmake succeed. However, when I tried to compile it with

6. make

It breaks with

I have the Qt development and kcoreaddons' files installed. I thought this procedure would be more straight forward. I'm looking forward to your advice. :)

You must run cmake for the whole repository; once done that, you can cd to the applets/notifications/ subdirectory of the builddir, and build only that part.

What I also needed to install is

kdesignerplugin

then

So the procedure is as follows:

1. cd plasma-workspace (root folder)
2. cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .
3. cd applets/notifcation
4. make -j6
5. sudo make install
6. Log out & log in

Is there a simly way to not override my working plasma desktop files?

I am now going to attach the screenshot above.

For pictures (like people's faces in messenger notifications) I would still prefer the lager icons, though.

I have to admit, that I'm not very much satisfied myself with the size. It could be a bit larger, something between medium and large. Maby we should discard it again. :P

And unfortunately it does change the popups somehow,

Yeah, this patch touches only the history items, not the popups. I can do that too, if you'd like.
