Growl style

I’ve been messing around a bit with Growl styles. Those are just some HTML, CSS and images in a package, so it isn’t all that difficult to make your own.

All this playing around resulted in an all new Growl style. It’s inspired by the semi-transparent toolboxes found in some OS X software (iLife for instance), therefore I named it ToolBox. And this is what it looks like:

Oh, and it works best with opacity set around 90%.

Those vague vertical lines in the screenshot are probably an artifact from OS X making the screenshot. They are not there in reality. The images used for the background are fully opaque (except for the corners) and are made transparent by using the “opacity” CSS property with a value spplied by Growl (and ultimately you through the preference pane).
