Hi I was brainstorming for an example to illustrate announcements and I wanted to have a Growl feature. So I looked at Snarl from Tony Garnock-Jones and I redesigned a simpler Morph. It could be more generic with better default handled default. I do not understand why the color of the text is ignored but I can not want to spend more time on it now. Apparently the first time the text is read and when the background or the color of the border are set the blue get propagated. :( GrowlMorph openWithLabel: 'The time' contents: (TimeStamp now)) If somebody would like to glue together Growl and the available announcements it would be fun to check. Gofer new squeaksource: 'Growl'; package: 'Growl'; load GrowlMorph openWithLabel: 'The time' contents: (TimeStamp now) Stef Something changed between 14042 and 14077 because I do not have the same alpha for the handle but I do not have the time to check. I do not understand why round corners are not taken into account.
