| 20 | Features: | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | * Several default aspects: ##plain##, ##info##, ##warning##, ##error##, ##inprogress##, ##done##. | ||
| 23 | * Stacking of multiple notifications on the screen. | ||
| 24 | * Possibility to replace a notification with another one, preserving the position. | ||
| 25 | * Automatic hide after a configurable period of time. | ||
| 26 | * Configurable icon, background and text color. | ||
| 27 | |||
