The notch, reworked

  • He melts into the screen edge like a liquid when you drag him there, and drips back out when you pull him away. His colour fades to black as he becomes the notch.
  • Snappy: it takes about 0.4 s, and grabbing him mid-animation snaps it straight to the end. Pulled out, he pops out under your mouse while the notch melts back into the wall on its own.
  • More like macOS: smooth spring motion, no glow at rest, and rounder corners when it opens up.
  • His terminal and his words no longer overlap in the notch: they stack, and the notch grows to fit both.
  • His glow is never cut off by an invisible square any more.
  • The menu's top bar / blob button is gone: drag him into an edge, or out of it.

Also

  • Starry eyes after every finished task (when he used tools), with a green flash in the notch. Before, he usually skipped it because he was still talking. A failed task shows a sad face and a red flash.
  • No more confetti when he leaves the notch.
  • A faint square of pixels around his glow is gone.
