New Style Suggestions

Post by an0n »

I hope this is the right place to be doing this...

I'd like to suggest two new display styles. I tried making them using the css/html method, but I think they need to be written in Objective-C.

1. Fullscreen
To be used for situations where it is very important that an app get your attention. I guess what I have in mind would be like the bezel, but a lot larger.

2. Menubar/Statusbar
This style would be just big enough to cover either the menubar at the top or the statusbar at the bottom. It would slide in like the music video style.

Again, since I have no idea when it comes to programming for the Macintosh, I'm not sure how hard it would be to do this.

Also, I'd love to hear if anyone else has suggestions for new styles.

Cheers, and thanks so much to the developers of Growl.

I think a full screen version of the "Music Video" style would be cool. By making the notifications sticky, you could see what was playing on iTunes from across the room.

#2 sounds very similar to the Nano style which is planned for version .9
