It's a WONDERFUL ROM, and I am wondering about one small thing.

When notifications come up and I cannot immediately dismiss them, I [like others] have seen the HTC Notifications Windows does not appear to be there like it used to be when we would click the top curtain. I'd like to know if this is possible to add, what people are doing to work around it and what that large curtain is that I've seen randomly displaying things like Bluetooth/Wi-Fi when I'm in certain menus. I would take a screenshot but I don't even know how it comes up in a 'surefire way.'

Anyway, I'd really like some ability to click (or drag like in Android or even WebOS!) the top bar to select my choices of activate Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/Notifications/etc.

In fact, I think a WebOS-inspired version of their program bar would be amazing with the connections/battery/notifications tab. It would make it that much more convenient to turn on different devices, enter Comm Manager, check/dismiss notifications, etc... If anyone is interested, I'll sketch out how I am envisioning it and help with the code [if I can learn quickly].

I'm on Calk's 23414 ROM now, and am still accessing the top curtain icons the same way I was in the earlier versions of 230xx (below quote). My recollection may be wrong, but I think those top icons actually looked more sophisticated in 23053 than in 23414.

The other icons are selectable as well, with their familiar functions. Doesn't seem to be the most efficient way for 6.5.1 to implement those top icons, but they still work.
