Notifications
The Notifications applet allows users to view their SpotPass and StreetPass notifications. The LED for notifications turns green when a new StreetPass notification arrives, blue when a SpotPass notification arrives. The icon in the HOME Menu can have a green dot when there are unread StreetPass notifications, or a blue dot when there are unread SpotPass notifications.
The main screen of the Notifications applet displays the number of unread notifications on the upper screen. The list on the lower screen displays notification titles and icons. Unread notifications are marked with an icon indicating their unread status.
Specifications[edit]
Notifications must include both a title and body text. The notification title has a maximum of 31 character per line.
