Colors!

While we wait on multiple notification support. Please add color assignment options. For example important notifications would be red, SMS blue, and others white, but let user choose each apps notification color.
Thanks

Hi!
While this is a good idea, it would take a lot of time to create the UI for changing all the colors, and I doubt that most people would be patient enough to customize everything.

So, here's some alternatives that doesn't take forever to implement:

• App colors based on the app icon's average color
• Allow custom XML layouts/drawables. These sound scary, but it's not rocket science to change the color codes. In the future, this one could be combined with a simple "theme repository," so people with xmlphobia can customize the app as well.
• Only allow color changes for the priority levels.

There are two routes, aesthetics, or utility . Some people will want to use colors simply to theme their phones/tablets a particular color. For those more theme options would satisfy. The colors based on priority would be utility. One would think a large banner across your screen, automatically means read, and take action. However a number of my clients have taken to instantly dismissing the alerts without actually reading them (even with swipe and close functions disabled) .
If color can be used to indicate priority, then we would also need the ability to designate what/which app/alert is of a particular priority. For example, most of my clients have a medication reminder, this should be higher priority, than email etc.
I find it easier to train people to pay attention based on color. I think this would be appreciated by a large number of this app's users.
Thanks

The whole idea of a heads-up is that it should notify you about important
events. So if a heads-up appears, it means that something important is
going on.

The problem is when unimportant events appear as heads-up notifications.
Then, users will start getting used to dismissing notifications before
reading them, because they are usually just small annoyances.

Personally, I have the app configured to only display important
notifications. This used to be the default as well, but I kept getting
emails from users who complained it didn't work with all their apps, so I
had to change it.

While that is my answer for now, I'll keep this in mind when creating
future updates. Until I get to work on this app again, I would recommend
turning off Heads-up for all unimportant apps, like email, games, etc. When
only important events appear as heads-ups, your clients will (hopefully)
learn that anything that appears inside a heads-up is important.
