I used it but I didn't like the shadow on the text, it made the text not readable. Dont get me wrong I love what you did her but it was hard to read and There was only one line of text available for preview
@Herson - Yeah that is the only issue really, the fact that it's one line, I didn't really fancy slicing it up to make it expand as it was designed to be minimal, but if it's a problem for everyone I don't mind sorting it out.
One comment … the style is too transparent out of the box. Even with the opacity setting set at 100%, the notifications are hard to read when they float over lighter backgrounds, such as open windows. For example:
@Herson Try restarting Growl, I just downloaded it and it is the updated version, I also changed the name to test it out and it didn't appear until I restarted Growl.

Sadly you cannot manipulate the close button.

Honestly, it looks just like a slightly modified version of this, which I made quite a while ago. Then again, I'm biased.
I like the transparency, though.

@Sam, only similarity is the line between the icon and the text, not very similar IMO, also completely different animation. Both are nice tough.
@Daryl, it is possible to edit the close button, but I don't know how, take a look at this theme: http://www.ryancollins.me/?p=92

@Sam I have never seen that in my life.
@Marcus I read up on that theme, they haven't modified it what they've basically done is sat a duplicate close button over the top.

Its just me or this don't appear on Growl Lion?

Really nice, but you should make it more opaque so that the user can adjust it to a further extent within Growl.
