Notifications and the notification list

通知是什么?

If an application or a system component wants to get your attention, a notification will be shown at the top of the screen, or on your lock screen.

For example, if you get a new chat message or a new email, you will get a notification informing you. Chat notifications are given special treatment, and are represented by the individual contacts who sent you the chat messages.

其他通知有可选择按钮选项,要关闭这些没有选中的通知,点击关闭按钮。

Clicking the close button on some notifications dismisses them. Others, like Rhythmbox or your chat application, will stay hidden in the notification list.

The notification list

The notification list gives you a way to get back to your notifications when it is convenient for you. It appears when you click on the clock, or press Super+V. The notification list contains all the notifications that you have not acted upon or that permanently reside in it.

You can view a notification by clicking on it in the list. You can close the notification list by pressing Super+V again or Esc.

Click the Clear List button to empty the list of notifications.

隐藏通知

If you are working on something and do not want to be bothered, you can switch off notifications.

You can hide all notifications by opening the notification list and switching Do Not Disturb to on at the bottom. Alternatively:

  1. Go to the desktop and start typing Settings.

  2. Click on Settings.

  3. Click on Notifications in the sidebar to open the panel.

  4. Switch Do Not Disturb to on.

When switched off, most notifications will not pop up at the top of the screen. Notifications will still be available in the notification list when you display it (by clicking on the clock, or by pressing Super+V), and they will start popping up again when you switch the switch back to on.

You can also disable or re-enable notifications for individual applications from the Notifications panel.

Hiding lock screen notifications

When your screen is locked, notifications appear on the lock screen. You can configure the lock screen to hide these notifications for privacy reasons.

To switch off notifications when your screen is locked:

  1. Go to the desktop and start typing Settings.

  2. Click on Settings.

  3. Click on Notifications in the sidebar to open the panel.

  4. Switch Lock Screen Notifications to off.
