📄 Description

resolves #6539

Summary

Transformed the notification system from vertical stacking to z-axis layered stacking for a more modern, space-efficient design.

Key Changes

Visual Design:

  • Notifications now stack on the z-axis with a "card deck" effect
  • Only top 3 notifications visible (newest at front, older ones scale behind)
  • Progressive scaling (5% per level), and vertical offset (-20px) for depth (opacity option provided but not used for now)
  • Added 8px border radius for softer appearance
  • Smooth animations when notifications are dismissed and transition forward

Layout Improvements:

  • Repositioned close button to persistent top-right corner
  • Action button now appears on the same row as message text (right-aligned)
  • Better use of horizontal space

Interactivity:

  • Only the front notification is interactive (swipe-to-dismiss)
  • Background notifications have reduced pointer events
  • Maintains existing swipe gesture functionality

Configuration:
All stacking parameters exposed as constants for easy customization:

  • MAX_VISIBLE_NOTIFICATIONS - number of stacked notifications (default: 3)
  • SCALE_MULTIPLIER - scale reduction per level (default: 0.05)
  • OPACITY_MULTIPLIER - opacity reduction per level (default: 0.2)
  • MIN_OPACITY - minimum opacity for stacked notifications (default: 1.0)
  • Y_OFFSET_PER_LEVEL - vertical peek offset (default: -20px)
  • BASE_Z_INDEX - base z-index for stacking (default: 10)
