New description:

 Notifications are a way for Orxonox to communicate with the player, but at
 the moment they are ugly and not as user-friendly and intuitive as they
 could (and should) be.

 Your task will be to make them more usable and beautiful.
 Each notification has a place it was sent from, that could affect how they
 are displayed (e.g. an image could be displayed with the notification
 indicating its source, therefore helping the user to evaluate the relative
 importance of this particular notification)

 You also could extend notifications by adding an importance indicator to
 each notification itself (e.g. 'info', 'warning', 'immediate danger') and
 display the important notifications more prominently.

 So this is mostly a job that requires some design work (mostly gimp or
 inkscape or similar) and, depending on the goal also some light lua or C++
 work.
