Currently, yes, but the Growl team are working on a replacement for this. > BUT if Growl is now installed, won't all other Growl enabled applications on > the user's machine start exhibiting their Growl functionality? Yes. > I don't want our application to be responsible for this cacophony of stuff. > Can this Cocoa-based install just be used by the installing application? That's what they're working on: A new framework that will have a mini Growl built in. Your app will use its bundled mini-Growl when Growl is not installed; if the user installs Growl, then it—and every other application that supports Growl—will use the installed Growl. > Does an install as described above mean that the Grow menu and/or preferences > are visible to the user?

No. User control—including the ability to override settings provided by default by applications—is a central Growl design principle. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
