growl notifications without growl installed
Hi,
i was just wondering, if there is simple way to build Growl without
daemon/listener, without any dialogs etc.
I'd like to have Growl balloons in only one DLL (the DLL should have skin built
in) to have it working, whether the Growl is installed or not, in my app. Is
there any chance to make this simple?
Hope you'll understand what I tried to say :)

I do understand what you are asking, and have been thinking about how to do
this for some time. It would be nice to be able to reference the Growl
connector libraries and just do something like 'growl.Notify(blah)' and know
that it will either 1) use Growl if installed, or 2) show a default
notification window if not.
The biggest hurdle I am facing is what default display to use and what default
preferences to use. Should it be the 'Standard' display, shown in the
bottom-right corner? What if someone prefers the 'Smokestack' display shown in
the upper-left corner? Perhaps I should take a poll or maybe just pick one and
go with that - it would be better than nothing at all.
What are your thoughts on it?

- Changed state: Accepted
- Added labels: Type-Enhancement
- Removed labels: Type-Defect
i really love Translucent Dark shown on the right middle
i haven't looked in the code yet, but hand-writed Xml with options to customize
the standard shown in the right bottom?
it means default would be Standard shown at the right bottom, and after adding
Xml with settings and display Dll would override the default settings? i think
that this shouldn't be so hard to do
what do you think?

Hi,
I needed to do exactly this today and ended up with the attached solution; I
hope it helps somebody.
In addition to depending on both Growl.CoreLibrary and Growl.Connector like
normal, it also needs Growl.DisplayStyle and a display (e.g.
Growl.Displays.StandardDisplay). This ends up being four references instead of
one like the OP asked for, but it seems to work well.
To the authors: thanks so much for making Growl for Windows!

thank you! it works very well
my favorite translucent gives me some errors, but it's about settings (Color
and such)
thanks again
