suggestion : reduce notification bar [#11296]

[Aralvor]

Maybe its me, but i find the media monkey area in the notification bar, in the permanent area, really HUGE

it should be smaller, or the option to reduce it should exist in the settings of MMA
Space can be removed around the playlist buttons, and above and below the song title / album. You could remove or move the # of the song in the playlist (the information is pretty useless), that'd give more space to the top

ideally it should be (or the small version of the notification bar) should be as big as the "chomp SMS" line below it..

see picture :

you can see its bigger than 2 other "regular sizes" notifications

As a temporary solution, if you are using Android 4.0 or higher, you can long press on the notification and drag up to shrink it. You might have to drag down first to enter resize mode, but that's an issue with Android.

In testing this I have discovered that the size is not saved, i.e. if I shrink the notification then stop the music, the next time the notification is displayed it will be full size again. I don't know if Android alerts the app of the notification resize, but if it does then it would be useful to automatically restore the previous notification size each time the notification is created.

fyi, although there's room for further improvement, we've reduced the default notification size.

Thanks i noticed, but i'd reduce it another 30% or more

With MMA, power toggles and the quick compose SMS thing, i'm barely able to see the other notifications
Or maybe give an option?

FYI rivorson, you cannot resize notifications on touchwizz (so all samsung devices)
