You can check this one based on mootols http://icebeat.bitacoras.com/post/212/window-growl

and my port to jquery http://alexsancho.name/archives/2006/11/windowgrowl-con-jquery/

have a nice day

1) Ditch the logger, or at least split it out. It’s a nice touch for the demo, but it seems like that should be it’s own function, not tied directly to the messaging.

Actually, and this is Aza’s point as well, because of the fleeting nature of the message itself, in that it will disappear when you perform an action (though a 700ms delay tries to make it not do so before you realize that it’s there), a log helps people go back and read a message they might not have caught at first glance.

I made it primarily for use with K2’s sidebar manager, where the undo function is also making it way into, and that will be part of the log as well.

You might be able to hide the log with some simple CSS, which would sidestep the issue entirely (and the processing overhead is neglible).

2) Minimize the markup/styling on the message box. There’s a jQuery RoundedCorners plugin available. You could do a test to see if that method is available, and if so apply the rounded corners.

Yes. However, there’s a problem with that plugin, in that the corners aren’t actually transparent. At least that’s my experience; I might be doing something wrong. I haven’t tested it in relation to Humanized Messages, but I’ll try it out and see how it works out.

3) “;” – It’s a tiny script, but making it packer-friendly is always a good thing.

Indeed, and I’ll do that for the next release.

If you come up with any IE6 fixes, let me know. I’ll look into it eventually; but since I don’t have IE6 anywhere, it’ll take some time.

Position: fixed doesn’t work in IE6, but there are CSS or JS workarounds. I’ll see what I can throw together…

So when are you going to come back over to Habari land and help us out!

Keep up the good work.

Best,

I’m hoping to do some screencasts soon; then you’ll be able to see it work within an actual ‘work’ environment.

Thanks,
