Ubuntu implements a new way of notification via its latest version in the offing. No more Post-It-like objects appearing onscreen.
I’m now using the development version, Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 5, as my production system. (I don’t encourage folks, especially the noobs, to try to shift to it now. They might not be as lucky as I am for not experiencing major crashes.)
Take a look at the following snapshots:
| For mails via Evolution Mail
|
For music via Rhythmbox
|
| When there’s change in brightness level
|
When AC power is unplugged
|
| For online chats via Pidgin
|
For print jobs
|
As at this time, I cannot configure or do some tweaking to the notifications in terms of transparency or opacity, color, or placements. In the meantime, I feel satisfied with everything.

Seems like its a work/look alike of the Growl application found in OS X. but still a good feature. I heard that you it uses compositing. Does this mean you need to have compiz turned on? how about if i dont use compiz?
No, you don’t need to have compiz turned on for notify-osd to work. I don’t use compiz. It’s a big hog for my CPU and memory.
nice feature
yup, it’s pretty similar to Growl.
Looks good.
