UserNotifier

The UserNotifier is a Class, that Notifies the User about certain Events.

Idea

• Scrolling Text, that stays for n (=5 default) seconds, then fades out
• Text can be prepended by a little pixmap, so that one can give some impression about what it is on the first sight.

Implementation

• One Class UserNotifier:
  • one Function: notifyUser("Text", "optional image", …)
• If a Line gets pushed active it gets appended at the bottom
• new line pushes old lines up
• too many lines will make the fading faster
• NO SCROLLING WILL BE ENABLED (one should be able to see the History in the SHELL (only the Text, no Images)
• Fading is an Animation Effect: First it stays lit for 3 seconds, then fades linearely for 2 (for example)

Geek

• This will improve the GEEK-effect, and like this we can also make some advertisement of the current music played.
