(Sorry if this has been already discussed but I can't find anything here on Phab)
I think the indicator for disappearing notifications would be more visible at bottom because the line would be longer and assuming the time to consume it is the same it would disappear faster making it more prominent:
(in the mockup I added some padding to notifications but I see that even more of it has been added in master)
it would disappear faster making it more prominent:
which is exactly the reason against putting it at the bottom. It shouldn't be distracting.
I agree that the indicator doesn't need to be prominent. Because of the notification history it won't be lost if one misses it anyway. I am content with the way it is.
That being said there was already a discussion about this in the VDG chat starting on 4. April. Back then a popular idea was to have a circular indicator around the close button. I liked that idea as well. Back then @GB_2 was working on that but it wasn't easily implementable.

Maintainer decision to stay with the current circular indicator, sorry. :)

A custom hardcoded close icon? Breaking customization capabilities because a developer does not like the line solution for whatever reason? I'm glad I'm not wasting time on KDE anymore!
And I'm glad we don't have to put up with your sour attitude, passive aggression, and incessant whining anymore. Or at least, we didn't until your comment.
You still don't understand the huge difference between criticism on the methods and personal attacks. The VDG proved I was right with the meeting on the review process proposed by Andy months ago, I have stressed the need for it for years, unheard because some take legitimate concerns as personal insults.
The cultural degradation of this community spilled into the attacks of the KDE e.V. against Richard Stallman and some KDE contributors even signed the infamous open letter against him, so I am proud to have denounced this degradation for years and distancing myself from this new generation of nihilistic and hypocritical contributors, who are fooled by a totally false discredit campaign against the inventor of Free Software and who act as bullies against him.
OK, bye. I hope you are able to find a community that lives up to your standards and values your contributions.
