I don't have it yet, but I've just noticed this option in the settings page (using Chrome Dev): http://imgur.com/POL5Y.png It uses this API and it doesn't require any extension. Awesome. |
reminders: that is a labs and was added in feb or march this year
and new design is online for every one |
you can now also select 42 different colors (in the old 21) |
hebbet: indeed, the desktop notifications feature is part of the Gentle Reminders lab. The new design is being rolled out to every one, not up for all users yet. |
I read somewhere that nofications was scrapped from the html5 standard. Does anyone know anything about that?
Do notifications work if the browser isn't active? |
Wouter Schut Here it says that "the notification API has been dropped". http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/ (5.4. Changes from 10 June 2008 to 12 February 2009)
You can test the API here: http://apirocks.com/html5/html5.html#slide12
I forgot to link to the Desktop Notifications on the Chromium Project http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/desktop-notifications. It may answer your question about the 'inactive browser' – I don't know. |
I feel there is an unnecessary amount of white space at the top of the page. But over all I like the new look. |
Jérôme thanks!! That was very helpful.
I thought notifications would work when the browser was inactive, but that does not seem to be the case.
That's sort of a good thing, because our company is building a system which does work out-of-browser. Where any website can easily install rich (html5) notifications to a users desktop.
Does anyone find that interesting?
