Give the desktop notification stack some love

Sundown

For those of us who use Windows 7, the old notification stack desperately needs some love. Aside from it appearing in odd locations, it's not as flexible nor as polished as the notifications pushed on the overlay.

What this would entail is:

  • Modernizing the appearance and functionality of desktop notifications to match the overlay's style.
  • Allow clamping of notifications to any corner of the screen.
  • Allow notifications to be forced onto a certain display (for multi-monitor setups.)
  • Allow Discord to present notifications in its own style instead of the default OS notification style, should a user choose to do so.

    Yeah, so for me the notification bar is outside my screen on the right and I have no idea how to fix it. It's only a recent issue as well. I mean, it's not like the notifications aren't there, I just can't see them as only the smallest edge of it is in my screen.
    On my other laptop, also Windows 7, the notification bar seems to be below everything and not above like before. This needs fixing ASAP.

    Agreed.... Getting notifications on the primary monitor during gaming is horriffic.. so I've always had Discord desktop notifications turned off...

     

    Please allow us to put the notifications in ANY corner of ANY display.... and let us configure when they auto-dismiss, including NEVER... For an example of notification config done really well, check out Pushbullet (the mobile to desktop notification unification app)

    I want my Discord notifications to be on my #2 monitor, in the upper-right corner, and NEVER dismiss... That way, when I'm in the zone gaming, I can just ignore them.. but when I have a free moment, I can look over, and dismiss them as I've read or handled them. (This is what I do with pushbullet, but I do it in the lower-right corner of 2nd display)
