Description

The current notifications design could do with some improvements

  • Avatars and action icons are fighting for attention
  • Big action icons don’t look so nice and are very abstract
  • The subject text is misaligned due to the avatar being inside the text at the beginning
    notifications-old

This is a quick mockup for a design adjustment:

  • Avatars are bigger and the point of focus
  • Actions are overlaid, smaller, white and with shadow (standard classes icon-white icon-shadow)
  • Text is now flush left because no avatar is inside the text
