NAME
notifywindow - Provides unobtrusive window for alerts/notifications from Tk applications

SYNOPSIS
package require tk

package require notifywindow ?1.0.1?

::notifywindow::notifywindow msg img

::notifywindow::demo

DESCRIPTION
This package provides a low-key, unobtrusive window for alerts and notifications from Tk applications that briefly appears in the upper-right hand corner of the screen. Modeled after the "Growl" framework on Mac OS X, the window fades in and out on platforms that support such effects, and appears and disappears on other platforms.

::notifywindow::notifywindow msg img
    Posts the toplevel notification window with the msg string, which should not exceed 40 characters, and an optional image, which should be 16x16 pixels.

::notifywindow::demo
    Simple demo that illustrates how the package works.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
While notifywindow was inspired by the Growl notification package for Mac OS X, it shares no code with that project whatsoever.
