REMOVE GROWL APP INSTALL
I'm on legacy hardware here that EOLs at 10.7, so unless I roll back my SeaMonkey install and freeze my updates - not an intelligent security decision - I'm now forever doomed to enjoying a SeaMonkey that feels more separate from OS X than it has since the 1.x days.
REMOVE GROWL APP CODE
I'll simply end by saying that removing features from the code base that has been in place for years makes financial contributors REALLY grumpy. And it's a conversation for a different bug, so I suppose I should stop ranting here. I haven't checked whether notifications are displayed on the same desktop when SeaMonkey doesn't have focus. * If SeaMonkey is open on Desktop 2 and I'm working on Desktop 1, XUL notifications might very well be displayed, but are not visible on this 'other' desktop.
* If a Growl notification is on screen, the XUL notification from SeaMonkey will cover it. Remove Growl for Windows with WindowsUninstaller. The XUL-based notifications do work, but with limitations: I get notifications for sure when SeaMonkey has focus. > No idea why there wasn't a backwards compatible solution. > so they provide the bare minimum to make it work, but yeah.
> For me they do pop up on desktop without focus when the program is minimized > You should get those white notification boxes though like they do pop up on When you delete your account, some or all of your information may remain on our servers, but you will not be able to access it. If that will make it into 18 along with this. You can edit or delete information that you upload to our Service and you can delete your account by selecting Delete My Account on your Profile page., but you cannot recall or delete information that others have copied. Honestly, I think that work should have been finished before we removed growl support. > Work has started on XUL-based notifications so we should have that for 10.6 I know it's only 10.5/10.6/10.7 users, but (and I'm speculating quite confidently) that's a non-trivial portion of OS X users across toolkit apps. Or even my browser that used to notify me of new gmail (we have millions of users of mail notification addons). If I had an email app that suddenly stopped getting new mail notifications, I'd be pissed. Remember this is toolkit code, so getting notifications in other apps is a bit more important. Version uploaded here are for pre Lion (10.7). > hardly ever see them, when I do it isn't really adding much to the Perhaps the first real notification system for OS X, predating the Notification Center by at least 3 years. I am running with notifications now and I (for example) Growl allows apps that support Growl to send you notifications.
