Activities Window and Notifications

Continuing with the same idea from this forum post about reducing the number of windows a player has to open i've made a new window and a few changes to how notifications work.

Right now we get some notifications on the left from our mail or our skill queue, but i believe this should be expanded to include other things. This should be optional and the player can decide what notifications should appear or not.

At the moment every "activity" in game has it's own interface. This could lead sometimes to the player having to click a lot and having a hard time finding certain or tabs/windows. It can also be very hard for people who have smaller screens (like laptops) to manage multiple large windows.

Here's a picture of how it might look (i've used the wallet window as a baseline so that i can make changes faster):
Activities Window and Notifications

I've limited my self here to tabs that could have notifications, but this can be used to create a window that contains any tab the player wants.
The "Log" tab is a place where all of the activities from the tabs the player added get logged (similar to how Journal works for your wallet).
The "New Tab" can lead a player to a list of predetermined tabs that can be added or it will allow the player to drag and drop another window / tab / sub-tab.

Having all your most used windows/tabs in one place can help new and veteran players.

Why not extend the existing notification system ? Like a double tab, one for the existing player related ones (war, corp, alliance, etc...) and one for system/activity related one.

Like a third sub tab: Mail / Player Notification / Game Notification

yeah sure. i've focused a bit on what i made there, but as i said, the notifications should include a lot more things.
