You may want to look into using XGL with your ATI card, which should give you compositing support as well as 3D effects. We've talked about making a theme format for notification-daemon. It'll probably happen eventually. Edralzar: No, Cairo has no support for fake transparency.

Would it be possible to use cairo to draw fake transparency on systems without composite enabled? I know that it worked with something called ghosd (http://neugierig.org/software/ghosd/) on my computer and I don't have composition enabled and can't have it, my card's a too-new (sic) ATI :'( anyways it could be implemented, couldn't it? if you can hint me where to look, I'd be happy to give it a try... but I must confess I'm a bit confused by all this code in themes.c :) any more detailled planning on when to add the ability to easily theme all the notifications? like through an xml file or something? Cheers Edralzar Hello !

I plan to add a control panel applet for choosing the theme and setting some basic options, so maybe I'll add something for that, but it's not high on my priority list. Most programs are pretty good about notifications so far and have the ability to disable them. Chris: Not any time soon.

It would be nice to only see critical ones, since non-critical notifications annoy me. Will it be possible to disable the notifications globally?

Interesting LCD effect: at the angle I typically look into my laptop's monitor these notifications look opaque. The more oblique the angle the more transparent they look. Yum, yum!

So cool to see people also joining the fun on the bling-front. BTW, I'll remember to add you gremlin-theme for cairo-clock in a new release. Hey Christian… that’s coming along nicely.
