Recently, I created a Firefox Add-On for my company's IT Ticket System. This add-on notifies managers of new tickets and alerts users about any changes to their existing tickets. Initially, I used the default notifier for Firefox on Windows with:
var alertsService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAlertsService);
While this method worked well, it lacked flexibility in terms of speed, timing, styling, and content presentation. To address this, I switched to using a panel which allowed me more control over displaying information as desired.
However, I am now looking to enhance the visual impact of the notifications by adding animation effects. Specifically, I want the panel to scroll up and transition from transparent to solid for better visibility. I have come across some JavaScript code snippets but haven't found a solution that works flawlessly. Any suggestions or methods to achieve this effect?
