Reminder that Design should be not just about how it looks but also how it works...

I was hoping since we can move Widgets onto the desktop that perhaps we'd get more spacing for Notifications but nope... 😒

You're a good designer if you can make something work well and is intuitive -- not merely just (in your opinion, making it look good).

Also this is the weirdest background fade I've ever seen... why? Why it like this?

@marioguzman progressive blurs seem to be their *thing* at the moment

@keir they look like a gross oily smudge on the display. 🤮

@marioguzman @keir I like it 🙃
It adds the necessary contrast with a potentially very busy background (that can include text) without needing a very heavy and strong drop shadow.

But it does look odd when it's just being applied to a lose block of text haha

@rafa @marioguzman yeah its a lot more noticable and looks a lot worse with no actual notifications there 😄
