Hello Michael, If you do not like how Growl currently works with the Speech style, please consider fixing it yourself or wait until someone takes the time to do so patiently. I'm sure nothing is preventing you from changing it, either on a personal level or getting it bundled in a future release of Growl. I would fix it for everyone, but I sadly don't have time enough to do so, even though it doesn't actually take that much to change the behavior. it requires you read a lot, though, if you want the knowledge of completing the work.
The Speech style isn't perfect. Bottom line is...if you don't like it now, don't use it. I strongly urge you to pick up the pieces and change the style slightly if you would like. I'm currently trying to re-write some of the speech style entirely, allowing you to have more control over the various styles in general, though that is currently on hold. Other developers of Growl (including me) will most likely tell you the same thing I'm telling you right now, given that Growl is an open-source project and everyone can contribute :). Please, don't complain. Everyone is currently working on their own projects and Growl improvements/bug fixes or enhancements, and not a lot of attention is being given to the Speech style at the moment. Unfortunately, sometimes other matters are much more serious than the Speech style. Don't get me wrong, because I understand your frustration. However, I will say this again...nothing is preventing anyone from changing the behavior. I'm sure we have some smart people on here...in fact, I know that is the case. I also know that someone is probably going to ask: "Well, if it's so easy...why doesn't anyone do it?" I'll answer in advance, and if I'm wrong in my predictions then you'll get the answer anyway. :) If you want the change badly, try to understand how to develop Growl. If you can't understand how to program, ask someone to help you who might have an idea or try to contact someone privately such as myself to guide you through the reading material. Of course, your third possibility is to just wait for a fix. I won't disagree that the fix is long overdue by now, and it should have been taken care of many releases ago. However, as I said above...regardless if it is a small matter or not, sometimes, no one touches that particular style for ages because there are more important bugs to be squashed, or more common feature requests to be implemented and polished. I'm not trying to be snappy, but I'm just tired of hearing the same complaint over and over when nothing is stopping you from changing all of Growl to your preference by getting the developer kit, then proceeding to build Growl. I'm sorry if you take this in any way that may seem offensive or belittling, as that is not my intent. :) Take care everyone. :) Regards, Nic GoogleTalk: [email protected] Facebook Twitter Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: [email protected] Yahoo!
