Size

• Message popups have a fixed width. The height of the popup may vary in regard to the length of the text

Best practices

• The message popup is more intrusive than a toast. Use it only for important messages (or long messaged in the case of help)
• Keep the title short and informative
• Keep the message text short and informative
