Why is 1 not a good idea? Telling at a glance what sort of notification you have is really nice: takes <5 seconds to turn on the screen, glance at the top bar, make an assessment of the urgency of the notifications based on their origin, and then turn off the screen (if they aren't urgent).
3 is a good idea for the other people, and shouldn't be counted as a point against, because having the option to customise the dock doesn't mean you have to. (It is a neutral feature, at worst.)
- stcredzero 14y agoWhy is 1 not a good idea? Tragedy of the commons. The space gets crowded. Let users decide which icons are there, and then it becomes a pain for the users to manage. having the option to customise the dock doesn't mean you have to. (It is a neutral feature, at worst.) Neutral at best. If you're savvy enough to manage such a dock, you don't need it. If you're not, then it will cause bewilderment. (Seriously, I've had students who can't double click.)
