Suggestion: Growl Plugin for Windows

Post by darcilicious »

Has anyone looked at or even thought about implementing a Growl plugin for Windows? I currently use "Growl for Windows" http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/ and would love it if there were some way to integrate/capture those messages in a skin...

Cheers,
D

i do not use Growl, but shouldn't that already be possibly with that Scripty display for Growl?

hint: rainmeter.exe accepts !bangs as command line arguments.

Well this is odd, I search the forums on the word "growl" and nothing came up so I posted my suggestion.

Then I was perusing the supported apps (looking for more info on "scripty" and found a pointer to this: http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2113?f=18&t=2113

Guess I'll be checking that out now ;)

Edit: except that's backwards for what I want -- I want rainmeter to display messages from growl instead. Back to checking out "scripty" I gues!

Growlnotify.exe should work for you.

You might find this interesting...
I came across this old thread in whichJSMorley created a basic skin that utilizes the Growl features.
EDIT: Sorry, duplicate info... same link as above :oops:
