Toasts

A toast is a modeless, unobtrusive message used to display a brief, auto-expiring notification to the user.

This transient message appears and fades into the background automatically after a short while, e.g. informing the user that a command has been executed properly. (The name toast is because it is like a friend lifting and lowering his glass towards you non-intrusively thus assuring you that all is well.) Read more about toasts in the UX Guidelines.

Wrap any text and an dismiss button in .toast for basic toast messages.

Use when

The user needs nonintrusive feedback about an action performed
The message is by nature short lived and just positive affirmation and not intended for deep scrutiny
Information may need to be shown across several services, e.g. for Visma.net as such
