I don't know if someone said it, but there isn't any "clear" command. So we can clear the notifications that we've now read if we want, so next time we check notifications after a few hours or w/e, we don't get a drop down list of 15 notifications, only 7 of them new, but a list of only the 7 new ones.

Anyways, I thought to say it cuz in every "window application" that uses such list (like the files we d/l or the sites we visit or etc) there's always an option to clear the list and the absence of such option in Eve kinda aliens me. Then again out in deep space aliens do exist ho hoho

go into the options within the notifications window and on the right side there is a "Clear Notification History" button

I would like the new Watchlist-notifications to show the lables i added to them. This would be very useful to see why i have this one red out of 1000 on my watchist, without looking in the p&p window. There is enough space in the notification for a line of labels. Perhaps a tooltip on the notification to show all the labels, if there are too many assigned to a contact, could be nice.

my notifications options has vanished

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Have this turned on and loving it so far, couple of requests/suggestions;


  1. I would prefer my notifications to pop in from an area just above the clock in the bottom of the neocom.
  2. A little x in a popup notification to close it quicker than the timeout, or just have it so when I click it it goes away.
  3. Conversely I would like to click a notification to take me to the inbound email or give me the interactions I'd get - start conversation, invite to fleet etc.

Probably been mentioned a buzillion times already, but I keep my Neocon aligned to the right, and this covers up the time.

Other than that it's great.

So, please add the ability to move it where we want it?

Thanks.

like many already have mentioned, the old way used to have a icon indicating your standings with someone whenever they logged on, would be nice to have this included in the new ones..

Also, since the new notification only have the name and clearly room for 1-2 lines of info below it, it would be great if those lines would be filled with whatever labels you added to that person, like the old system finally got included after way too long, but only if you mouse-over them upon login.

Update: Also, would it be possible to add checkboxes for playing sound on each notification instead of a global on/off option? i dont really need to get that sound every time someone logs on, but for a few things it could be really useful when multiboxing etc.

Turned it on, an am really liking it. A few things need cleaning up in my opinion:


  1. Cleanup. The history window is populated with a long history of notifications and while disabling most or all notifications showing up in history prevents adding to this, it does nothing to actually clean up the existing mess. Whether it's individual or a mass clear function, there should be some way for us to clean this up.
  2. Incomplete. Not all notifications that would be useful are included. Most notably PI and Industry, but this has been mentioned, so I'll not elaborate.
  3. Context menu. For each notification, I should be able to right click and get a few options for actions. Notification that a contact has come online might give an option to send them an evemail, go to the contacts page, remove them from watchlist or from contacts, for example.
  4. Size. This is a bit of a nitpick, but the size of the icon doesn't fit. There is a "gutter" of sorts around the edge of the screen that UI elements snap to. It allows the in-space icons for objects to not be obscured by the UI. The problem here is that the icon for the notifications does not conform to that size, and does not fit in that gutter.

Great work, looking forward to the final product. I have a few suggestions, but having read the rest of the thread, it seems they were all already mentioned, some repeatedly. Smile

airplane "ding" when capsule ejected from Titans was fun.

Warcraft bugle call that accompanied outpost transfer notification was bad.

A clear function got added to TQ with the last patch. Its in the options menu of the window might be better on the main window but we will have to see what CCP changes over the next 2 weeks.

Im "Opt-out" currently on TQ, but there is no feature to on/off this notification on SISI. Its already annoying with redundant info and a button that sits on top of all windows and cant be turn off..

On/Off feature before it goes live!

I disabled bounty notifications from the new notification thingy, but sadly I still get spammed with bounty notifications under the old system, and it makes me think I have a mail too :(

Thanks for spending so much time on the configuration options.

I would like to see a further option for the actual notification widget icon to also fade out when inactive. Revealing on hover over and notification of course.

The implementation strategy in particular is most appealing, I wonder if it could adapted to support optional roll out (and monitoring) for the HD textures.

Some new (and a few old) points:
* The popup needs an "X" to close it
* Make an option for it not to popup if you have a combat timer. Of course the icon will still get a ( 1 ) when a notification pops up
-why? Because, due to my window setup, I have no free corners, and I'm not putting this in the middle of everything for obvious reasons. So current the notification window is ontop of my Overview, so when a new notification pops up, it blocks the overview and prevents me from using it while the notification is there, and since there is no way to remove it, I have to wait it out (see first suggestion)
* Make the notification marked as "Seen" when/if you mouseover the new notification popup, so that it doesn't make a ( 1 ).
* As mentioned before, make the pilots standing show when the popup shows (and in the notifications window)

Is this related to the black screen of indeterminate length I am suddenly experiencing on login or undock?

This would be really useful. See when people have accepted your contract, that being auction bids, courier contracts. etc.
