Q: How can you set it up so notification center is always displayed or open?

Instead of clicking in the top right icon to open notification center for a quick look at reminders and events, I would like to see how to keep notification always open and on the right side if the screen. Application could overlay it, but when I minimize apps, it would be nice that notification center stays displayed.

mac mini, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

    At first glance, it does not appear to be doable. One thing that may be nice is to set notifications to appear on your screen. System Preferences > Notifications > Calendar alert style:

     

    It will not display everything, but it will display the most recent items that are moved to the Notification center.

     

    If you have a trackpad you can also reveal the center by dragging two fingers onto the trackpad from the right.

    I wish I could do it too.  I prefer the calculator in the notification center , but using it while having a document open is a challenge. If I want to write something in my document, the calculator and its result disappear..
