I have a question that seems pretty basic, but I've searched through the documentation and forums and haven't found a way to answer it. I don't really know the terminology for growl, so forgive me if this is a little confusing.

I have been using growl for a few months now, and I usually use the Crystal notification style. Overall I like it, but the one thing that frustrates me is how the notifications move to the foreground if the cursor is over them. What i mean by this is that if my cursor is in the top right corner (for instance if i am typing in the firefox search bar), when a growl notification pops up I can no longer type in the search bar... I have to click the firefox window to bring it back to the foreground and re-click in the search bar. There are two built-in styles -- music video and bezel -- that don't behave this way (the cursor doesn't interact with them at all), but I don't like the design of these styles as much as the others.

Is there a way to make it so that the other message styles have the same background behavior exhibited by Music Video and Bezel? I don't have any need to click on the notifications, so I would like for the window I am working in to stay in the foreground, even if a growl notification appears where my cursor is. Is there a way to change this setting either in the growl preferencepane or else by editing the message styles?

Thanks so much! And keep up the good work.... growl is wonderful!

The problem child display, crystal, is a webkit display. Try installing a couple from the resexcellence repository, they all will exhibit the same behavior. It's a problem with that display type, and is a known problem.

Bubbles, Bezel, Music Video, Brushed, and Smoke will all not exhibit this behavior.
