We've been working on a message and notification tray that can be very interesting to replace the current popup message:
You can try it right here: http://agora.xtec.cat/formacio/moodle/moodle/?lang=en
Users and passwords to enter:
- Admin - user admin, password agora
- Teacher - user profe, password agora
- Student - user alumn, password agora
- Manager - user gestor, password agora
It needs very little code, as you can see:

And some improvements can be done. The current version notifies only the messages configured as Popup Notification in the Messaging uers settings.
When there are messages, like in Facebook, appears a number on the message icon:
When you click on it, a list of message will be shown and an All message link (to go to messages).
If you click on a message, a popup will be shown with the text:
You can close or mark as read the message. It also have a link to the message page.
Please consider it!
