Pardon my ignorance, but how do I go about installing this?

I can't understand what the position options means: detached and attached to what? Can you explain it to me. You should add tooltips that pop up when the mouse hovers over these options.

You can do the same as the original, which is hidden when there are no notifications?. Very good notification of when you install an application.

In settings UI under 'Popup Position' you have a typo - 'deta[T]ched'.

As for now, I don't see any use to this plasmoid. Changing popup position is implemented in the default notifications plasmoid, you can just drag popup wherever you want. Are you going to add more features?

I created this plasmoid for my distribution USU, because I needed notifications with pre-defined popup position detached from the panel.
The default KDE Notifications are not suitable for this, because they use X,Y coordinates to store this setting, and the position is correct only for the current resolution.
