More Notification Information...

Just as you thought you've heard everything about the new notification in Jaunty (and also in Intrepid), here is yet another post on the same topic.

This is just a quick tip for anyone using another theme than the Human theme on Jaunty. Without the Human theme you'll get a translucent black box when notifications pop up, because the icons are aren't included in any other themes yet. Simply by appending Human to your theme's inheritance in index.theme:

e.g.
Inherits=gnome,Human

That way you won't have to keep re-copying the icons every time the art team updates the human-icon-theme package.

Thanks to pferraro from the Ubuntuforum for this tip.
