Bezel usage

I'm just wanting to get a feel for the amount of people using the bezel, if any.

Isn't it that thing that pops-up in the middle? If it is, get rid of it O.o

It can be positioned in other places as well.

I use it as the default style. Why is it giving you devs a hard time? I always though it was just a square brushed or bubbles dispay.

I voted for "Whats a bezel?"
Which is exactly how I feel.

Not really a hard time, I guess I just don't see how it can be used. We are going to ditch the glass style in it for sure, and probably switch it to only have the charcoal style, and remove that pref.

I think it's kind of interesting and could be useful for some things.

But if your other post in another thread is an indication, and it's a problem to deal with, then kick it to the curb.

I love it. I use it for everything that doesn’t need lots of text room. But it could be removed, as long as you make something equally as good and PURTY!

I don't use characoal because I use the bezel on top of my adium list, so I don't like it to be transparent.

Charcoal looks better solid.

Bubbles all the way for me.

I use bezel for mail notifications, and music video for just about everything else.

Not a very spartan view, though

I never liked bubbles much; seems too… uh… ?ßƒå?´?˜ÒÏ?Íˆ™¨£µÏ!

To be honest, I don't like it very much either. But, Bubbles is what I used when I first downloaded Growl, so it is hard for me to change my ways. Also, there isn't really any must-have Growl style out there, so there is nothing making it easy for me to switch.

I use bezel often. The main reason I use it is it is one of the only ones that can be moved to the bottom left of my screen. I really like the crystal theme but it only goes on the top right of my screen. One of the reasons I like Bezel is when you have around 5 alerts at one time they dont take up the whole screen. If there is any way to change some of the other styles so that I can move them into other parts of the screen that would be awsome.
