On the flip side, an app that posts its own kind of notifications and does not support growl, instantly becomes less attractive to Growl users. I have, in the past, actively gone out to look for a Growl-supporting alternative when this happened. How many users agree with the following statement? “Where applicable, lack of growl support is a bug, not a feature request” ^_^ also, Qt automatically puts growl support into any app that uses its system tray messaging: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2006/12/06/system-tray-update/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
