<section id="notifications">
- <title>New Notifications Design</title>
+ <title>Notifications Reimagined</title>
<media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
- <p>GNOME 3's notifications system has been overhauled for &gnomeversion;. A new message list provides a
straightforward overview of previous notifications. The redesigned date and time menu also shows event
reminders and world times, through integration with the <app>Clocks</app> application. The addition of
weather information and birthday reminders is planned for the future.</p>
- <p>Popup notification banners have been repositioned as a part of the redesign, so that they appear
towards the top of the screen. This makes them more noticable, and prevents them from interfering with text
input at the bottom of the screen. As with the previous notifications design, actions can be taken on popup
banners, including making chat replies.</p>

straightforward access to previous notifications, and popup notification banners have been repositioned in
order to make them more noticable and to prevent them from interfering with applications. As with the
previous notifications design, actions can be taken on popup banners, including making chat replies.</p>

previous notifications, but the new drop down also shows event reminders and world times. This gives a great
overview of what is currently happening, as well as what is scheduled for the day. The addition of weather
information and birthday reminders is planned for the future.</p>

and list views have been overhauled, so that they provide bigger thumbnails, easier to read rows, and a more
attractive appearance. They are complemented by a new view popover.</p>
- <p>Deletion has also been improved for &gnomeversion;, with the addition of a new, easy to discover undo
feature. This allows files and folders to be moved to the trash using <key>Delete</key>, rather than the
existing <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Delete</key></keyseq> keyboard combination.</p>

the new overlay scrollbars are only shown when needed: a small scroll indicator is shown when the pointer is
moved, and a larger bar appears when control is wanted. This creates a cleaner, less distracting view, which

significantly reduces the amount of window chrome, to give more space to the images themselves. A new zoom
control provides a quick way to conveniently zoom in and out, and the properties sidebar has been refined to
provide a more elegant overview.</p>
