There are some times, especially when I'm moving chests around, that I pick up so many items at once that the list of pickup notifications covers the entire center fifth of the screen, making it quite difficult to do anything until they go away. It would be great if there were a limit to how many can display at once, perhaps they could queue and it could just display each one as the previous ones time out?
How about a horizontal "news ticker" at the bottom of the screen? A "first" message starts fully visible on the right border of the screen. Then it begins scrolling left... and continues to do so until it's off screen. Multiple messages would be queued. Maaaaaybe once a queue is up to 5 items, a new scroll bar is opened, scrolling in parallel. That would also "fill the screen" to a degree but you'd have to try 5 times as hard to make it an actual problem. =) lyscroll
