issue with the "Saved wiki" yellow notification

[Jero]

Hi everyone.

Tiddlywiki 5.1.17 , Firefox 78.0.2 64 bit, Windows 10

Issue: 

The "Saved wiki" yellow notification covers the "hide/show sidebar" toggle icon.

It can take several seconds until the notification disappears, forcing me to wait before I can access the toggle iconn -which, by frequent saving, noticeably disrupts my workflow.

Two solutions come to my mind: 

1. Being able to set the max. showing time of the "Saved wiki" notification (I would go for something like 300ms).

2. Being able to change the showing place (or size) of the "Saved wiki" notification, so it doesn't cover the "hide/show sidebar" toggle icon.

But I have no idea how to do any of these.

Any help very welcome.

Or you could move the toggle button. Open tiddler $:/core/ui/TopBar/menu and change the tag to $:/tags/ViewToolbar. Now you can toggle sidebar from your tiddler.

Hi Jero,

If you want to reposition the notification, you can do it like this:

1. Create a new tiddler (any title)

2. Tag it with $:/tags/Stylesheet

3. Paste the below code to its body

.tc-notification {
    position: fixed !important;
    right: 200px;
}

4. Save

Now your notifications will be moved 200 pixels to the left, relative to the right edge of the viewport.

You can play with it further using CSS to fit your needs, reposition, change colours, styling etc. and delete the above tiddler altogether to move back to the core version.

Just an idea, hope this helps.

Have fun!

PS. I've noticed that you're using an old TW version:

Tiddlywiki 5.1.17 , Firefox 78.0.2 64 bit, Windows 10

The current official TW version is 5.1.22. Each version brings significant usability improvements. You can upgrade your old wiki to version 5.1.22 using the upgrader tool.

Remember to backup before upgrading!

Best regards,

Hubert

That´s an interesting option. Thank you!

Great! I could move the notification 90 pix to the left, so it doesn´t interfere with the sidebar toggle icon anymore. Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! I was not aware of there being an "upgrade tool". The idea of messing up the wikis by trying to upgrade was more scary than having an old, suboptimal version. But now I will give it a try!

No problem Jero, you're very welcome! :)

BTW, the release notes for the current version are listed here. A few versions ago, TiddlyWiki got math operators in the core and some significant speed improvements. To get the details of what's changed in every version since 5.1.17 you might need to have a look at the github repo here.

Enjoy!

Hi Jero,

A last hint: the "shift-alt-S" keyboard shortcut togles the sidebar visibility.
