I've just tried to remove all of the files in the plugin-folder and you're right! It worked as expected after they were removed from that folder. I narrowed it down to the Nucleic (Dark) style, and i tried to download the style again from the developer and the style now works as expected. Could it have gone corrupt in the downloading/unzipping of the style. I tried searching with spotlight for growl, but it doesn't find and files containing "growl" unless a search specifically in the Library directory. Shouldn't it search through the entire hard drive if i choose to search on "This Mac"?
A question, since I uninstalled it a couple of times, shouldn't the styles that I installed have been removed also? Since it obviously can cause some bugs it should probably be at least an option when you uninstall Growl. That prompts you with something like: "Do you wan't to uninstall your custom installed styles too?" Thanks for the help!! Saved my growl!
