That's intentional. Clicking the notification will now invoke the default action if there is one. Granted, we don't use it that often yet but 3rd party apps happily do so. If there isn't, it will not do anything, to avoid confusion (actioning vs just closing). Created attachment 106117 [details]
firefox download panel
Is there a possibility to make the dismiss button much larger for usability reasons? I attached an image showing a redesign of the download panel of firefox. It used to have "action" buttons (eg open folder) similar to the red x button plasma has in the notifications. They changed it to a much larger rectangular area. Interesting idea. I think OS X also places a dedicated full height "Close" button there instead of a tiny X. Visual design group is currently redesigning notification, I'll ask them to improve usability a bit in this area. Thanks. To mitigate the frustration introduced by this change, is there an existing way to dismiss notifications with the keyboard? In case anyone ends up here needing a method to close the notification without superfine motor skills, I'm using a custom global shortcut to trigger this script: #!/bin/sh x=$(xdotool getmouselocation | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | cut -f 2 -d ':') y=$(xdotool getmouselocation | cut -f 2 -d ' ' | cut -f 2 -d ':') xdotool mousemove 1865 110 xdotool click 1 xdotool mousemove $x $y |
