Words cannot express how much I hate macOS' post-Big Sur notifications changes. Every day they annoy and frustrate me. For the love of god, just give us permanent buttons! They're not evil!

@antonyjohnston It’s so bad, I basically have stopped paying attention to notifications on desktop at all. I hope the next version fixes this. 🤞

Antony Johnston

@yatil I wish I had that option, but time-based notifications are important to my workflow :(

Marcin Krzyzanowski

@antonyjohnston @siracusa I think they effectively killed macOS notifications with that redesign. I don't know anyone who uses it anymore to anything useful

Antony Johnston

@krzyzanowskim @siracusa My workflow depends on them, so I still have to use them. But I hate it.

@antonyjohnston strongest possible cosign.

Also make these notifications less stupidly wide, while we’re at it.

@antonyjohnston @siracusa The inane mouse wiggle incantations I need to do to make the buttons appear at all infuriate me every time.

Antony Johnston

@vwampage @siracusa Pro tip: move your pointer up to the menu bar, then back over the notification to make the button re-appear. Insane, I know.

@antonyjohnston @siracusa What vintage Mac do I need to sacrifice for buttons? A bondi blue iMac? A Macintosh Classic? A 20th Anniversary Mac? Maybe get weird and do a first generation iPod?

Michael Tuohy

@antonyjohnston @vwampage @siracusa Haha sounds like the nightmare that was Windows 8 when you had to do all sorts of intrinsic mouse moves to get the start menu to appear (or something like that. It's been a while.)

Sloan Studio

@antonyjohnston They know how hated and difficult this design is. For years. Yet they’ve done nothing.

Jeff

@antonyjohnston And with all this iCloud stuff everywhere, how come I’m still seeing all these same notifications on my iPhone & iPad that I’ve dismissed on macOS?

Alberto Hermosillo

@antonyjohnston oh yes. They have gotten worse. I also miss the full width title bar in windows. Big Sur ones make me feel like I am sitting off center from the screen. Annoying!
